Recently, the Foundation focused its fundraising efforts on a $6.3 million Capital campaign to help offset construction costs and the purchase of new equipment for the hospital replacement facility.
Dear Residents of the North Valley,
As Chairman of the North Valley Hospital's Capital Campaign, I would like to thank all the supporters of this wonderful project for their generosity. The campaign is drawing to a close and brought in 5.8 million dollars.
As the committee met with North Valley residents in homes and businesses during the last three years, it was very apparent just how important North Valley Hospital is to the fabric of the communities. Over 800 donors "put their money where their hearts are." Not only is the hospital of utmost importance to full-time residents, but also to people who do not make Montana their full-time homes and are supporting projects in other cities.
Because of the visions and leadership of Craig Aasved, Carol Blake, and the Hospital Board, the community of North Valley now has a state-of-the-art medical facility to care for all. I'd like to extend an open invitation to all, including city officials, who have not taken the opportunity to tour the new hospital. Thanks again for your generous support. Here's to your continued good health.
