2026 ANNUAL APPEAL FUNDS

Baby Bereavement Suite: Make a difference for those affected by the loss of a baby. Donating to this special project will help create and maintain a private suite for parents who need time and space to grieve following the loss of a baby. Together, we can create a soothing place for those facing an unimaginable loss.

Capital Excellence: Funds are used to support improvement projects, capital improvements or other capital hospital priorities. CT machines and a meditation room are the types of patient-centric projects that donor support can help move forward at our hospital.

Cardiology: This fund is used to support the needs of the Heart, Cardiopulmonary, and Cath Lab operations.

Employee Stewardship: This fund provides support for fellow employees in their time of financial need. Funds are raised by employees through this annual campaign, with the support of the foundation's unrestricted funds.

Maternal Child: This fund is used to purchase items needed for new parents, and to upgrade, or maintain equipment and other items needed for the Labor & Delivery department. Your gift can also be used to provide grief support resources to patients and their families who experience the loss of a baby, and for memory boxes, keepsake items, and other needs.

Nursing Professional Development Scholarship: This fund is used to provide scholarships for nurses who want to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree, or a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree. Funds can also be used for certification prep.
