Technology Update Needed
~You Can Help ~

The letter below was found recently in Foundation documents and is dated September 25, 2001. It truly drives home the importance of not only Valley County Health System to this region, but also the need for quality equipment, including a CT Scanner.

Dear Editor,
I am writing to let everyone in Ord and the surrounding area know what a valuable asset we have here in Ord. Namely, Valley County Hospital. My son was injured in the football game last Friday night and needed immediate care. We were fortunate to have Dr. Keown and EMT’s with the ambulance at the game. They did an excellent job preparing and transporting Matt to the hospital.
The hospital staff took over when we arrived and were great! We were able to have the x-rays and even the CT scan done right here in Ord! What a wonderful benefit! There were five football injuries treated that night at our hospital from surrounding towns. How truly blessed we are to have the facility, technology, and people to take care of us when we need it, right here in Valley County.
Let’s all unite to help keep this valuable asset a viable part of our area. For as the saying we have heard and seen many time in the past few trying weeks goes. United We Stand!
Sincerely,
Deb Eppenbach

2020 Off to the Races Charity Gala
Finishes Strong

The ladies donned big hats, fascinators, and beautiful dresses, while the guys showed up in sharp bow-ties, suspenders, and hats. If you didn't know better, you could have been in a Kentucky Derby post-party.
The atmosphere was both fun and supportive. From several fun games throughout the evening, live and silent auctions, text-to-donate to help with the CT Scanner purchase, to ending the night with great dancing and music, those in attendance were kept busy, laughing and enjoying the night.
During the text-to-donate portion for the CT Scanner, attendees were made aware of a donor coming forward who would make a 2 for 1 donation to the project when the Foundation reaches $100,000 (they will donate $50,000).
During the quick 5 minutes of texting, Team 1 and Team 2 raced to see who could raise the most (Team 1 won by a landslide...sorry Team 2), a total of $20,850 was donated in that short time frame toward that $100,000 goal.
If you would like to help the Foundation reach the $100,000 goal and receive the bonus of $50,000, please click the DONATE button at the top of the page, or mail your donation to VCHS Foundation, PO Box 321, Ord, NE 68862.
The Foundation thanks everyone for their support of this charity event.
