Bates County Memorial Hospital (BCMH) thanks the Dehaemers Family Charitable Trust for a donation made through the Bates County Community Health Foundation on behalf of the hospital last summer. The gift provided funding to replace the engine in Unit 2, one of the hospital’s ambulances, allowing the vehicle to return to service quickly and supporting the hospital’s continued investment in a well-maintained, countywide ambulance service.
BCMH also extends appreciation to Hedge Hollow Raceway, which helped connect the hospital with the Dehaemers Family Charitable Trust and played an important role in facilitating the donation.
Last week, the hospital presented a shadowbox to representatives of the foundation and Hedge Hollow Raceway as a small token of appreciation for their partnership and generosity.
As a nonprofit hospital, BCMH is mindful of the resources required to sustain Bates County’s ambulance service, including maintaining a fleet of four ambulance units, with two staffed for emergency response 24/7. Community support like this helps strengthen and sustain these services for the people it serves. These efforts reflect the strength of a community working together to support essential services.
