Celebrating 26 years of dedicated service to improving healthcare in Hopkins County, the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation is gearing up for its 2024 Gala. Over the years, the Foundation has contributed millions to fund essential medical equipment, projects, and technology, positively impacting local healthcare.
Recognizing the ongoing need for health resources, the Foundation's Board of Directors remains committed to championing the local healthcare cause. Through events and direct solicitation, funds are raised to reinvest in ways that enhance Hopkins County citizens' access to health-related resources.
This year, the Foundation has chosen two vital projects at CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs. April Gammill, CMF-SS infection preventionist, has requested $15,000 for a state-of-the-art portable handwash training station. This innovative device ensures accurate and comprehensive handwashing training, modeling each step for the proper duration.
Responding to the community's growing needs, the Foundation Board of Directors has allocated $250,000 towards the multimillion-dollar expansion of the hospital's surgical services wing. Paul Harvey, president and CEO of CMF-SS, provided crucial information highlighting the exponential growth in procedures and the strain on current surgical facilities.
The Foundation invites the community to support these projects by attending the Gala. An Evening in Tuscany awaits attendees, featuring a Tuscan-themed meal, live band entertainment, live and silent auctions, and the popular local game, Heads and Tails.
