‘Nothing Levels Up Your Happiness Like Giving’
‘I
t starts with Health’. That’s how we begin
each conversation when we present the
various elements of the comprehensive
Gratitude Campaign to prospective donors.
Every person in this region is touched by
healthcare and, with projects ranging from
renewal of rural clinics through to the creation
of innovative surgical suites; the campaign is
important to everyone.
you put on your own fundraisers and sent in the
donations, you purchased raffle tickets, and you
thought deeply about significant gifts that would
support advanced healthcare now and for the
next generations.
The Gratitude Campaign was launched in 2016
just prior to the fire and we are very proud to
thank you for the $7.5-million in donations and
pledges received to date. ‘It starts with health’ is
more than a tag line to us, it’s everything we feel
about what grounds us in community. Your individual and collective gifts are closing
the gap between your dreams for local health
care at the world class level and the creation of
the spaces, technology, and delivery for those
dreams to be a reality. The annual report is
our chance to share your health care donation
stories and demonstrate our good stewardship
to enhance the impact of your gifts. Please keep
your donor love coming; we have a lot more
work to do together!
Beyond the campaign, each and every time we
asked for donor love to help support our regional
health system, you responded to our call. You
attended our signature events in record numbers, Cindy Amerongen
Executive Director
