Lake Region Healthcare Foundation Announces Opening of 2014 Grant Application Filing Period

The Lake Region Hospital Foundation is pleased to announce that grant applications are now being accepted until June 15, 2014. Grant applications and grant criteria can be found at: www.lrhc.org under the Foundation link.

In 2013, the Lake Region Hospital Foundation Board of Directors awarded over $66,000 in grants for health related programs and projects benefiting individuals in the Lake Region Healthcare’s service area. The Foundation awarded money to support such projects as Helmets for Kids, the Lake Region Takes Root Community Garden, Fitness Circuits around Lake Alice and the LRH Campus, MSCTC’s SIM MAN program for nursing students and expansion of the Driver Rehabilitation Program for drivers with disabilities. 

The communities surrounding Lake Region Healthcare have been supporting the Fergus Falls Hospital since it’s inception in 1903.  Health care is critical to our community and donating to the work of the Foundation strengthens the community. Gifts, whether outright or deferred, will help ensure quality health care for generations to come. 

Contact Katie Johnson at 218.736.8193 if you have questions about the grant application process or would like more information on how you can show your support to the Lake Region Healthcare Foundation, a non-profit 501 (c) (3). You can also email the Foundation at foundation@lrhc.org.
