St. Francis Valley Healthcare Foundation (SFVH) has released the results of its year-end fundraising campaign, Tree of Lights 2022, which raised a record $120,000 for the purchase of much needed hospital equipment. Erin Gienow, SFVH Executive Director, said, “This is the most raised to date through our year-end appeal. Together, with previous dedicated funds, we are approximately 75 percent on our way to being able to purchase a new ultrasound machine in the 2023/2024 fiscal year.” According to the SFVH Tree of Lights report, the cost to replace the ultrasound machine will be approximately $200,000.
