Make an Impact Where It Matters Most
Every donor has a story, a connection, and a reason they care about healthcare in our region. Whether your passion is emergency care, cancer screenings, technology upgrades, or supporting families during their most vulnerable moments, your gift creates real and lasting change for the people who live here.
There are many meaningful areas within the Foundation where you can direct your support. To explore the options and discover how you can make a difference in a way that reflects your values and your heart, please contact Brynn Knudson at brynn.knudson@kh.org.
Your generosity touches lives. Thank you for helping strengthen healthcare close to home.
Current Initiative: Funding a New CT Scanner
Our current fundraising priority is helping to purchase a new CT scanner for Clearwater Valley Health and St. Mary’s Health. This advanced imaging technology is essential for improving emergency care, reducing radiation exposure, and ensuring that patients receive fast, accurate diagnostics close to home.
The total cost of each scanner is significant, and the Foundations are committed to contributing 25% of the overall purchase. Donor support plays a crucial role in meeting this commitment and bringing this lifesaving technology to our rural communities.
This investment will directly enhance patient safety, comfort, and care…and your support helps make it possible.
