Dear GSHS Foundation Supporters,
I hope this letter finds you well. On behalf of Good Samaritan Health Services (GSHS) Foundation, I want to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support and commitment to improving healthcare in our community.
Over the years, the generosity of our donors has made a meaningful difference in the lives of countless individuals and families. Your contributions have helped make important projects, renovations, equipment purchases, and community initiatives possible—each one strengthening the care and services available to the people we serve.
Your support extends far beyond the walls of our hospital. It creates a ripple effect throughout our entire community, helping ensure that individuals and families have access to compassionate, quality healthcare when they need it most. Because of generous supporters like you, we are able to look not only at the needs of today, but also at the opportunities and challenges our community will face in the years ahead.
As we look toward the future, one of our primary initiatives is Build EMS, a capital campaign to construct a new ambulance station and strengthen emergency medical services in our community. Our goal is to raise $2 million for this important project. A new EMS facility will provide our emergency medical teams with a safe, functional, and purpose-built space to support their critical work and better serve our community.
We are also committed to building a strong financial foundation for the future through our existing endowments. The GSHS Foundation maintains endowments with the North Dakota Community Foundation (NDCF), as well as through Inspirity’s Community Health Foundation. These resources allow us to take a long-term approach to supporting healthcare and community needs.
Our four endowments are designated to support different areas of importance and improvement within our healthcare system and community. By continuing to grow and steward these funds, we can create a lasting source of support that extends well beyond a single campaign or project. Endowment giving provides an opportunity for donors to make an impact today while helping ensure resources are available for future generations.
At the same time, we continue to look ahead to the future needs of those we serve. Projects such as Haaland Estates represent our commitment to creating comfortable, supportive living spaces that promote dignity, quality of life, and compassionate care for patients and residents. While these projects may be ahead of us, the Foundation is committed to preparing today for the needs of tomorrow.
These initiatives are more than buildings, endowments, and improvements. They represent our shared commitment to the health, safety, dignity, and well-being of our community. Whether supporting Build EMS, strengthening one of our endowments, or helping prepare for future projects such as Haaland Estates, every contribution plays a role in building a stronger future for those we serve.
Thank you for being a vital part of the GSHS Foundation and for believing in the importance of local healthcare. Your generosity has a lasting impact, and we are grateful for the opportunity to continue this work together.
With your continued support, we can Build EMS, strengthen our long-term resources, prepare for future needs, and continue making a positive and lasting difference in the lives of those we serve.
Thank you for investing in the future of our community.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Joshua Mattson
