Golden Valley Memorial Hospital Foundation

Prior to fy24 the gvmh Foundation completed a capital campaign to raise funds to assist the Hospital in building a radiation oncology center. Many gifts were pledged by donors to be paid over a period of years. Gifts received by the Foundation are placed in a restricted fund for radiation oncology. The Hospital completed construction of the center in december of 2023. During fy24, the Foundation began transferring funds raised for radiation oncology to the Hospital to help offset their costs associated with the project.

The Foundation awarded a grant to gvmh hospice for equipment (ipads, cases and keyboards with apple care+) that works with their new axxess web based solution in order to allow staff to chart while in patients homes rather than waiting until back in the office at the end of the day.
