S KYLIGHT G ALLERY Donation buys beds for hospital Dinner auction raises $65,981 Wallowa County Chieftain The Wallowa Valley Health Care Foundation do- nated $65,981 to Wallowa Memorial Hospital. The money, raised Nov. 12 at the 21st Annual Healthy Futures Dinner Auction, is enough to purchase seven new patient beds for Wal- lowa Memorial Hospital, The state-of-the- art beds will re- place others purchased more than 15 years ago. “Thanks to the efforts of nurse manager Teri Judd, we were able to locate six demo units, available on the West Coast, for our initial order,” said Wallowa Memorial Hospital CEO Larry Davy. “These units are as good as new, they just can’t sell them as new because they have been used for demonstrations.

More beds are expected to be available from the West Coast in the near future. “The new beds offer new and improved features that enhance safety, comfort, and healing,” said chief nursing offi cer Jenni Word. The Wallowa Valley Health Care Foundation was founded in 1990 to raise money to help improve and expand health care service in the county. Since 1996, the foundation’s biggest fund- raiser has been the annual Healthy Futures Dinner Auc- tion. The foundation board works with the hospital lead- ership to determine where the need is each year, and this year the need was for new pa- tient beds. “We are happy to be able to help the hospital purchase these new beds,” said foun- dation vice president Diana Collins. “We appreciate the incredible support of the community that made this gift possible.” For more information on the Wallowa Valley Health Care Foundation, call 541- 426-1913.
