GSHS Foundation Awarded $75,000 Grant to Upgrade EMS Cardiac Monitors
The Good Samaritan Health Services Foundation has been awarded a $75,000 grant from the Otto Bremer Trust Responsive Fund, in partnership with the North Dakota Community Foundation, to support the purchase of new LIFEPAK Cardiac Monitors for the Heart of America EMS team.
These updated monitors will replace aging equipment with modern, lightweight units that enhance emergency care by improving mobility, diagnostic accuracy, and communication between EMS crews and hospital teams.
This investment strengthens our ability to provide
faster, safer, and more advanced patient care across the communities we serve. We are deeply grateful to the Otto Bremer Trust and the North Dakota Community Foundation for their continued partnership and commitment to improving rural health care.
Dear GSHS Foundation Supporters,
I hope this letter finds you well and in good health. On behalf of Good Samaritan Health Services (GSHS) Foundation, I want to express our sincere gratitude for your ongoing support and commitment to improving healthcare in our community. Over the years, generous contributions have made a significant impact on the lives of countless individuals. Donations have played a critical role in many projects from our Build 2024 Campaign, Twice Blessed, Heart of America Hospice, and multiple building renovations, and essential equipment purchases that directly enhance the quality of care we provide.
It's not about the services within the hospital walls; your support has a ripple effect throughout our community. We strive to positively influence the well-being of those beyond our immediate facility. Your contributions enable us to extend our reach and make a lasting difference in the lives of families and individuals in our surrounding area.
As we continue our mission to provide exceptional healthcare, we are currently focusing on Build 2024, Otto Bremer Trust Matching Grant, and the Rugby Health Endowment. Your support in these endeavors will help advance the well-being of our communities through compassionate, patient-centered care. Thank you once again for being a vital part of our healthcare community. Together, we can continue to make a positive and lasting impact on the health and well-being of those we serve.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Joshua Mattson
