Annual Campaign / Winter 2026
Advancing Care.Enhancing Lives.
“When a patient asks, ‘How will you know the treatment is working?’ or ‘When will I be able to do things by myself again?,’ we have the answers and support they need, and your generosity gives us the tools to provide them.”
Your generosity will help us provide:
• Advanced patient monitoring equipment that helps care teams detect changes in vital signs, respond sooner and prevent complications.
• Patient lifts and mobility aids that support safer transfers and movement for patients and their care providers, reducing physical strain and injury.
• Cutting-edge medical and surgical technology that provides real-time imaging, supports more precise procedures and helps reduce treatment delays.
• Therapeutic and comfort equipment that relieves discomfort, supports rehabilitation, and improves the patient experience during recovery.
Working directly with patients every day, our care team identifies where updated equipment, technology, resources, or training can enhance care. We partner with the Foundation and hospital leadership to prioritize these needs based on urgency, patient impact, and community necessity.
Our care teams rely on specialized equipment and technology to diagnose and treat medical conditions, monitor patients, prevent complications, and support surgical procedures. With this equipment in constant use and our community growing, healthcare needs change. Rapid advances in medical technology offer new ways to meet those needs. Replacing equipment and investing in updated technology helps our care teams provide safe, effective care and supports better patient outcomes close to home.
That’s why I’m asking for your help. The Sturgeon Hospital Foundation is raising $200,000 to provide equipment that is vital to patient care and recovery.
Your generosity supports innovation and provides tools beyond standard operating budgets, helping us enhance patient care and improve outcomes throughout treatment and recovery.
Please consider making your gift today. Together, we can create brighter, healthier tomorrows for everyone who depends on the Sturgeon Hospital.
