Giving Tuesday 2024

December 3, 2024

This Giving Tuesday we wanted to spotlight some of our wonderful donors!
 
 
Rhonda Fletcher & Fletcher Family 
 
Longtime supporters of the CRH Foundation, we spoke to Rhonda about her and her family's first-hand experiences and the importance of giving back.
 
Rhonda and her family believe in the power of giving back as they know what impact even the smallest of donations can make for patients and healthcare workers alike.
 
 
"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."
 
 
Rhonda and her family believe in the power of giving back as they know what impact even the smallest of donations can make for patients and healthcare workers alike.
 
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.
 
 
"It's about trying to supply our hospital staff with what they need to care for patients, as well as supporting the needs and comfort of the patient's themselves - which could simply be by donating things like fresh puzzles to the unit!"
 
 
Their fund has also supported the CRH Foundation through our Lights of Hope campaign, choosing to support the ICU as Rhonda's Dad and the patriarch of their family, Alden, received lifesaving care after being admitted to the CRH while experiencing a heart attack.
 
A sincere thank you to Rhonda and the Fletcher family for their generosity and steadfastness to make a difference for our community.
 
 
Whether it's by donation, acts of kindness, or spreading joy, we can all make a difference giving back any day. If you're interested in donating through our Lights of Hope campaign, click the donate button above!
