Regional West Medical Center traces its roots back to 1924 when it opened in an unfinished hotel. Through the vision of our leaders and the generosity of our community we are, today, the leading health care provider in western Nebraska with over 1,900 employees and more than 110 active physicians on staff.

In 1972, Regional West Foundation was established to support the hospital's mission of excellence in health care. Today, the Foundation's success is a continuation of a long and proud tradition of community support for superior health care services in the communities we serve. Our mission is, in cooperation with Regional West Medical Center, to support quality health care services and education by seeking, managing, and administering donations.

Foundation support is generated from community and employee campaigns, special events, planned giving, bequests, and memorials. The Foundation Board of Directors provides leadership and guidance to the Foundation in management and disbursement of funds. The board is comprised of community leaders who share a common interest in health care philanthropy. Each board member volunteers their time, resources, and talents to insure the continued growth and success of Regional West Foundation.

Your gifts to Regional West Foundation play a critical role in the growth and development of Regional West Medical Center. Your support helps provide state-of-the-art technology, assists in building new facilities, and in purchasing new medical equipment. Your gifts also support health care scholarships and employee education programs. Please give special consideration to making a gift to Regional West Foundation.

As Chairman of the Regional West Foundation Board and on behalf of our Regional West family, I thank you for your generosity and support of quality health care in our community.

Warm regards,
John Massey, Chairman
