🏥 Mountain News: Big Grant for Local Hospital
Mountains Community Hospital Foundation was recently awarded a $300,000 capacity-building grant from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians to help strengthen the hospital’s fundraising capabilities and support long-term community healthcare needs.
The hospital relies heavily on community support and philanthropy to keep services strong and to fund future projects — including plans for a new acute care wing, expanded emergency department, and skilled nursing facility to better serve mountain residents and visitors.
According to Foundation leadership, this grant will help them grow their fundraising efforts so they can continue investing in critical services and facility improvements that keep quality care close to home for all of us up the hill.
(Watch this space — fundraising and construction updates are likely to continue this year.)
That’s it for this week’s Mountain Weekly!
