Spring Appeal Letter Encourages Support for Community’s New MRI
There are moments from Kate Winn’s breast cancer experience that she will never forget. Thanks to the exceptional care she received at the Ross Memorial Hospital, including an MRI to guide her surgery, Kate is cancer free. When Kate learned that the community’s aging MRI must be replaced and that government funding doesn’t cover the cost, she wanted to help fundraise the $2.5 million cost of the MRI and encourage others to give, too. For more information or to make an online donation, please visit the RMH Foundation’s website, www.rmh.org/foundation.
