LINDSBORG COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE FOUNDATION
Hello-my name is Betty Nelson and I am the Director of Marketing and Development for our hospital, clinic and Foundation.
If you have known me for very long, then you know that I am passionate about local health care and our history. I am 'connected' through family and work history-I was born into it! I remember Esther Bergin, Ruth Keller, DD Fuller, Mabel Holder, Mae Walline, Malcolm Murfitt and Marie Muller because I worked with them. I remember when Rhonda Finney was a CNA, just out of high school-and how she worked to become an LPN, then an RN, and has now been with LCH for over 30 years.
Once presumed to be the norm, having a local hospital is becoming an option community members must choose to support. I am committed to seeing that the Lindsborg Community Hospital is here for the people of the Smoky Valley for years to come. I believe in what we do every day: providing high quality, personalized healthcare.
Since the very beginning, our mission is reflected in our heritage: "Partners caring for the health of the Smoky Valley communities". Partners. A simple word that becomes a powerful force with your contribution.
Partnerships, like charitable gifts, come in all shapes and sizes. It is a handshake in the hall or a contract to improve diagnostic imaging. It is a pledge to use donations wisely to improve patient services or provide staff with the means to accomplish the task of providing quality health care.
Charitable gifts have helped sustain Lindsborg Community Hospital since our beginning in 1946. Your gifts provide us with the means to re-invest in the future health care of the Smoky Valley people.
Please don't underestimate the importance of your donation of any size! Every gift is valuable because they come from people like you: People who want to give as much as they can to help make certain we will continue to be your hospital. Will you join me in supporting our mission by making a contribution?
Thank you for being our partner.
Most sincerely,
Betty
