HISTORY
The Blue Mountain Healthcare Foundation is a local nonprofit organization, run by a board of Blue Mountain Hospital District
employees, local business owners, and community members who are passionate about healthcare in Grant County. Their
mission is to provide financial support for healthcare improvements in Grant County in order to build a brighter future for our
community and to keep our friends, family and neighbors close to home for their healthcare needs.
The Healthcare Foundation was founded in 1999, and over the years has provided significant financial support to the Hospital
District. Some of the items the Foundation has helped fund include; a new ambulance, cardiac monitoring equipment, new
hospital beds, updates to the Care Center, a new nurse call system, and many more pieces of equipment and programs.
GOALS
The biggest goal of the healthcare foundation is to reach $1 Million in the Foundation’s Endowment Fund. This will allow for
permanent support and additional funding to the Hospital District for years to come. Through gifts from our incredible
community, and funds raised from our events throughout the year -we can get there!
