In 2024, Forks Community Hospital’s only mammography unit was damaged and unrepairable. Understanding how vitally important mammograms are to the health and well-being of so many in our community, the Forks Hospital Foundation began its mission to raise needed funds for a replacement unit. In just over a year, thanks to grants from the Murdock Trust and First Fed Bank, and the generosity of so many in our West End Community, including many employees at FCH, we are thrilled to report that our grassroots $250,000 matching grant goal was met!
Operation Mammogram was one of the most successful and meaningful fundraising efforts to date, and we’d like to recognize those who live outside of our community who were motivated to donate, and to the following individuals and organizations for their donations, support, and, most of all, for helping us give the gift of mammograms. Because of your gifts, patients will not have to drive for miles for excellence in health care, as this life-saving service is available here in Forks!
