In April 2025, the St. Marys Healthcare Foundation made a commitment to fully fund a new X-ray machine for St. Marys Memorial Hospital.

This past week, less than a year later, the foundation is very proud to share that the $650,000 cost needed to cover the machine was fulfilled.

After recently announcing that we were just $15,000 away from our goal, an incredibly generous community donor contacted the foundation and offered to contribute the remaining amount to help us cross the finish line.

This achievement reflects the strength, generosity and shared commitment of our community. Reaching $650,000 in under a year is truly remarkable, and it speaks to how deeply our supporters value access to high-quality care close to home.

On behalf of the foundation, thank you to every individual, family and business who contributed to the X-ray machine. Your support ensures that patients of all ages will continue to receive diagnostic care when they need it most.
