“The support that our regional community
\nshows for its hospital is truly amazing,” said Vice

\nevery dollar given is invested in technology and
\nfacilities and expertise that continuously elevate
\nthe quality of care the hospital provides.”

\nFalls area by providing financial support to organizations
\nthat address the community’s human,
\nsocial, cultural and educational needs, foundation

\nrestricted to tuition, fees, books and supplies. The
\npayments are remitted directly to the educational
\ninstitution for credit to the student’s account.<\/p>\n
