Grateful for Our Community: The Heart of Boone Hospital Foundation

As we reflect on the Boone Hospital Foundation’s mission to improve our community’s health, one powerful truth stands out: we couldn’t do it without you. From our dedicated Boone Health Employee Champions to our generous donors and corporate sponsors, each of you plays a vital role in our mission.

We are endlessly grateful for our Boone Health volunteers, whose tireless support in the Boonique Gift Shop and throughout Boone Health enriches our efforts. Our patients inspire us daily with their commitment to healthier lives, showcasing the impact of our collective work.

Empowering Our Staff and Community

Our gratitude extends to how we support our staff. Through scholarships for nursing and health-related degrees, we enable our team members to achieve higher certifications and training, enhancing patient experiences and elevating the standard of care.

We prioritize acquiring lifesaving equipment, such as dermascopes for skin cancer detection and AED training devices that empower community members to act in emergencies. These resources improve patient outcomes and enhance our community’s overall health.

Our commitment to creating a comforting environment is evident in redesigned patient rooms for comfort care, allowing families to stay close during critical times. We’re also updating lactation rooms, recognizing the need for a supportive environment for new parents.

Investing in the Future of Health

Beyond direct patient care, we’ve implemented “train the trainer” courses to strengthen our team’s knowledge. With donor generosity, we’ve supported pharmacy technicians in obtaining licensure and assisted uninsured patients with their prescriptions. Additionally, we cover fees for Fit for Delivery classes to empower expectant mothers who otherwise could not afford to participate.

The Backbone of Our Success

None of this would be possible without the unwavering support of our corporate sponsors, whose commitment to central Missouri’s health is commendable. Together, we’re building a healthier future, one initiative at a time.

Join Us in Making a Difference

As we look ahead, we invite you to continue supporting the Boone Hospital Foundation. Monthly giving, one-time gifts, cash donations, and bequests are invaluable to sustaining our mission. Every contribution, no matter the size, significantly impacts our community’s health.

– Monica Collins, MPA Executive Director Boone Hospital Foundation
