“It is a momentous day,” said Honish, as he revealed the gift of $107,247.
Nerenhausen’s gift brought the total raised by the foundation to $1,504,110, pushing it over its $1.5 million goal established in 2011.
“The joy of having quality local healthcare readily accessible and serving the health and wellness needs for our local community and the surrounding area is a dream that has come true. We are very thankful for the generous support given by Jim Nerenhausen and all who have made a contribution,” Honish said. “Quality health care is a vital component of a strong community, and our expanded facility fosters this high quality of care.”
