"We are proud to have our business partners join us today to help raise funds for this year's funding priority, which is diagnostic technology and making sure we have the most advanced equipment available to detect diseases or cancers at the earliest most treatable stage. So all of the money that is raised today and throughout the year for our foundation goes right back into the community and ensuring that they have local access to the very best care right here at home," said Lashae Burwell, director of the Lima Memorial Foundation.
"Being the only locally owned and controlled hospital in the community and stuff. It's great to have the community support, and we always like to give back to them by thanking them for everything they do. We can't thank them enough every time we do it. But today turned out to be a great day. We've been doing this for 34 years, so it's a great opportunity to continue to recognize them," said Mike Swick, CEO of Lima Memorial Health System.
In recent years, the foundation has contributed funds to support numerous programs and medical advancements.
