GSHA Board Trustees Approve Build EMS Capital Campaign

January 19, 2026

The Good Samaritan Health Services Foundation Board of Trustees has officially approved the Build EMS Capital Campaign, marking a major milestone in strengthening emergency medical services in Rugby and surrounding rural North Dakota communities.

This campaign will fund the construction of a new EMS Station at Heart of America Medical Center, providing our dedicated EMS crews with a modern, fully equipped facility to respond quickly and effectively to emergencies.

The recent Twice Blessed campaign demonstrated the community’s overwhelming support, raising $37,233.50, far surpassing the $10,000 matching gift provided by the INSPIRITUS Community Health Foundation. These funds give the Build EMS campaign a strong start and momentum to bring this vital project to life.

With the Board’s approval, the campaign can now move forward, and the Foundation looks forward to continued community partnership to ensure rural North Dakota has the emergency response resources it deserves.

These funds will help get this critical project off the ground.

Your generosity is bringing us closer to strengthening emergency response for rural North Dakota and giving our EMS crews the facilities they need to save lives.
