friends and neighbors,” says Cynthia Olson, vice president of
Centegra Health System Foundation.
Your charitable gifts allowed the foundation to fund an
additional van, which features a lift for easier wheelchair access.
The new van went into service in July, mostly shuttling patients to
and from the Centegra Hip & Knee Replacement Center for joint
replacement surgery and rehabilitation.
Soon after, a state transportation grant allowed the foundation
to purchase another van. Together, the new vans are enabling
Patient Express to take significantly more people in need to and
from necessary medical appointments—including wound care,
cancer treatment and stroke rehabilitation, among others.
FUTURE FUNDS FOR FUTURE NEEDS
Olson notes that the foundation continues to address areas of
need throughout our community. Contributions and gifts to the
foundation help support many services vital to the community.
These include enhanced patient care, innovative technology,
educational activities and programs.
High-level projects the foundation has helped fund include the
Centegra Sage Cancer Center, the Centegra Gavers Breast Center,
neonatal monitors, EKG transmitters and sophisticated cancer
treatment equipment.
