Did you know that when you donate, 100% of your donation stays within the Foundation, to the Fund you designate? 👏

Today we're spotlighting our Women's Health Fund. Originally the Breast Health Fund, this Fund supports local women undergoing cancer treatments who have an unmet financial need. The Fund also supports Windom Area Health equipment needs for mammography.

We all know someone battling cancer. If you know a woman undergoing cancer treatment in our region, encourage them to apply for funding. The process is easy and confidential. Let's lift up the courageous women in our lives! 💪

More information is on our website and by contacting Foundation Director Katie Greener: 507-831-0633.

Thanks to donors like YOU, we are able to support projects like the Shuttle Bug that enhance the patient experience on the WAH campus. 🛺 It may seem like a little change, but it makes a huge difference for patients navigating our campus. Thanks Lisa for driving!
