Generous Gala Support for the Cancer Center

November 16, 2018 by Jean Raatz Leave a Comment

THANK YOU!!  “A Night in Tuscany” Annual Gala was a huge success last weekend. We raised over $105,000 in the pledge section alone! We expect the total net proceeds to be approx. $315,000!! Thanks to all who contributed in any way!!

Proceeds from the fundraising event will support expansion of the Willmar Regional Cancer Center. The renovation project will provide much needed space for patient privacy and comfort, additional physicians and staff, continue acquisition of modern technology, and meet the growing demand for service.

The Rice Health Foundation Staff and Board of Trustees extend a heartfelt THANKS to all who supported the 2018 Gala. We are grateful for the continuing gifts of time, talent, and treasure from the community. A special thank you to the Annual Gala Planning Committees who volunteered their many talents and hours of their time to make the Gala one for the record books!

Annual Gala raises $277,150 for Emergency Services at Rice

February 7, 2018 by RHFAdmin Leave a Comment

The Board of Directors of Rice Memorial Hospital and Trustees of Rice Health Foundation extend a heartfelt THANKS to all who supported the 2017 Gala Dinner and Auctions. Preliminary gross proceeds now total $277,150, which will benefit Emergency Services at Rice. Your support will help Rice ensure the safety of patients and the staff who care for them.

We are grateful for the continuing support from area businesses, donors, sponsors, partners, physicians, contributors, guests, volunteers and staff. A special note of gratitude to all emergency services professionals.

 

Why We’re Here

Rice Memorial Hospital — the heart of the Willmar community — could not exist without the generous philanthropic support of our area residents. Each year, 100% of the proceeds from the Gala are reinvested back into the community to support Rice Hospital initiatives.

2017 Beneficiary – Emergency Services at Rice

Our Emergency Room served 13,351 patients of all ages from Kandiyohi and surrounding counties in 2016.  Many patients seen in our ER have emergencies involving mental illness or substance abuse, posing a threat to themselves and others.  Emergency Departments across the country have transitioned to secured, monitored environments requiring on-site security officers to safely manage these types of patients. It is now time for Rice to make similar changes to enable our ER staff safely care for the myriad of emergencies they respond to daily.

The funds raised will help strengthen emergency services provided in the Rice Hospital Emergency Room, and ensure the safety of patients and the staff who care for them.

Solution

Your support will mitigate the safety risk to patients, visitors and staff; allowing Rice to remain proactive in preventing violence in the ER and throughout our Hospital by:

  • Increasing staff ability to more clearly observe patients and visitors in the waiting area
  • Improving patient flow by minimizing contact between discharged patients and patients seeking care
  • Relocating security staff to the ER

Sponsors provide the funding that make it all possible!

Thank you to our many sponsors! Take a look at the sponsor list here.
