2020 has not been easy for anyone. And the Hospital and its staff are no different. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the outpouring of love and support from our communities has been heartwarming and humbling. The gift of thousands of hand-sewn masks made to specific standards for nonmedical needs to preserve critical personal protective equipment has proved to be essential. Gifts of pizza, energy drinks, snacks, lunches and so much delicious food have helped boost morale and remind our staff that our community loves us and appreciates our efforts to keep them safe, healthy and happy.

On behalf of the Foundation, which has been honored to accept many of these donations for the staff and volunteers at Grande Ronde Hospital, we thank you.

Although we aren't through this yet, please know that we at GRH and the Foundation are dedicated to be here for all of your medical needs and support. We continue to find new ways to serve our communities through expanding services such as our Urgent Care facility on Island Avenue, or by making sure we have the latest and best equipment so you do not have to drive many hours to receive the care you deserve. One example of this is our 3D mammography machines, purchased in part by the GRH Foundation with community-donated funds.

If you would like to help back projects such as these, recognize anyone on our staff or ensure the future of Grande Ronde Hospital, contact the Foundation to discuss how your gift or recognition can have the most impact and go where you would like it to be used and stay local, thus creating jobs and supporting community health.
