Message From Our Board President
As a proud member of this community, I know how much we all value having quality healthcare available close to home. Living in a rural area has its challenges, but thanks to your support, our hospital remains a welcoming place where families and friends receive care rooted in our hospital’s mission: to serve our community with excellent patient-centered care.
Keeping important decisions local is at the heart of what we do, ensuring that the unique needs of our community guide every step we take. At the same time, we continue to build strong partnerships with others who share our commitment, allowing us to grow, innovate, and bring new opportunities to our hospital and our region.
Your generosity helps us update equipment, introduce new services, and welcome dedicated healthcare professionals. None of this would be possible without you. Thank you for helping us deliver on our mission and for being such a vital part of creating a healthier future—right here, at home.
With heartfelt thanks,
Wendy Smith
