ABOUT THE
Foundation
Over $5 million raised to support the hospital
Mountains Community Hospital Foundation is a 501(c)(3)
MISSION – WHY WE EXIST
To create philanthropic opportunities and build lifelong relationships with community members, in order to raise funds to support Mountains Community Hospital.
Foundation Support is Vital to the Health of Our Hospital
Many rural community hospitals are little more than first aid stations, and in this cost-cutting environment, many have had to end services altogether, forcing remote populations to face long drives when they need medical attention. However, thanks to gifts from community members and charitable foundations, Mountains Community Hospital is not only surviving, but thriving, and continuing to add services for the people who depend on it.
The Foundation has provided more than $5 million in patient care support in the past 10 years. Recently we have funded much-needed advanced equipment and projects such as:
UV machine for our Environmental Services Department
Bladder Scanner
Pyxis medication and supply dispensing machine for the ED
3D mammography machine
80-slice CT Scanner
Ultrasound machine
12-seat activity van and truck for our Skilled Nursing Facility’s residents
Automated External Defibrillator (AED) for our Skilled Nursing Facility
Fully adjustable electric beds for our Skilled Nursing Facility and Medical/Surgical Nursing Unit
Financial support for $6 million seismic strengthening project mandated by the state
Cardiac, telemetry and vital signs monitors for the Emergency and Medical/Surgical Departments and Post Anesthesia Care Unit
