Giving Tuesday 2024

This year on Giving Tuesday we wanted to spotlight one of our donors, Rhonda Fletcher 

Longtime supporters of the CRH Foundation, we spoke to Rhonda about her family's first-hand experience and the importance of giving back.

"We've had family members and many friends who have needed the support of the CRH for physical and mental health and if it wasn't for the foundation and the hospital, they wouldn't be here today."

As an Analyst for AHS, Rhonda has worked in the healthcare world for many years and is an incredible advocate for mental health and patient care which is why each year the A & M Fletcher Family Fund donates to support the in-patient psychiatry unit at Chinook Regional Hospital, including funding renovations, equipment, as well as patient needs.
