There is still time to put meaning into this holiday giving season by supporting the Greene County Medical Center Foundation in its 2024 Greene Backer campaign. “Every day we hear the stories of people who are grateful for the services and programs available right here at our medical center,” said Foundation director Nancy Houska. “Whether they are finally able to get relief from long-term pain or are able to have an outpatient procedure without added time off work and having to travel hours away, these individuals are examples of just how widespread a simple gift to the Foundation can be.”
Last year, Greene Backer donors subsidized the purchase of radiofrequency ablation equipment for the Greene County Medical Center Pain Clinic and a multi-use ultrasound machine that is utilized by the Urology, Cardiac, Pain, Emergency, Acute and Orthopedic departments.
“Greene County Hospital was founded 87 years ago to provide healthcare services to each and every resident of our county,” Houska explained. “The very cornerstone of what has become Greene County Medical Center is built on the generosity of others, with gifts of farmland from Mr & Mrs Jesse Henderson and Mrs Lydia Turpin. Their philanthropy ignited an outpouring of support from the people of the county who provided funds for equipment, furnishings and services. As a not-for-profit organization, we continue to rely on the backing of our community partners and individuals who help us meet your needs day-in and day-out; ensuring we remain Always Here, Always Caring for generations to come. Thank you to all of you who are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of others.”Persons can donate by logging on to gcmchealth.com/foundation, texting GREENEBACKER to 4144 or contacting Houska by phone at 515-386-0108 or email at nancy.houska@gcmchealth.com.
