The Bates County Community Health Foundation (BCCHF) would like to extend its heartfelt gratitude to the individuals who contributed to the foundation by purchasing Memory Ornaments in 2024. A total of 78 ornaments were sold, each displayed on the Memory Tree at Bates County Memorial Hospital during the holiday season.
Proceeds from these ornament sales directly support scholarships for students pursuing careers in healthcare, helping to nurture the next generation of healthcare professionals in Bates County. The Foundation is grateful for the generosity of those who participated, ensuring the continued success of these scholarship efforts.
