On May 16, 2024, we invited our community and employees to participate in our inaugural Conway Regional Giving Day. We are proud to announce that you answered the call – and $43,002 was raised on Giving Day!
Giving Day was a success because of the generous donors who support our mission of providing high-quality, compassionate healthcare to the communities we serve. And because of the support from our community, we met the $20,000 matching goal, pledged by Randy and Amber Milligan.
Your contributions will support vital areas, including student scholarships, medical fitness programs, and employee benevolence. By participating in Giving Day, you supported the people at the heart of our community's health—the same individuals who may one day care for you or your loved ones.
Thank you to all who donated!
