Help Us Support the 4th Annual Homes for Health!

By

The Pullman Regional Hospital Foundation is once again asking for our help for their 4th Annual Homes for Health! This year our advocacy is especially needed as all proceeds will go toward easing the burden the COVID-19 pandemic has created at Pullman Regional Hospital. All funds raised will go directly toward much needed medical equipment and supplies including: upgrading the Da Vinci robotic assisted surgery equipment, procuring a Smith & Nephew handheld robotic tool and navigation system, and securing a C-Arm for intensified imaging used during surgical procedures.

Please take a second to read through the PDF below for more information on Homes for Health and the available sponsorship packages. Sponsorship packages start at $125 and will put your name in front of more than 500 healthcare employees while helping to build a stronger and healthier community.

The sponsorship opportunity deadline is Monday, March 15, 2021.

We urge you to please consider donating to this worthy cause and thank you in advance.
