Join us in this special edition of the Living in McKenzie County Podcast as Vawnita Best sits down with Lynn Welker-Fevold, the president of the Benefit Fund of McKenzie Health.
In our engaging conversation, Lynn shares her passion for rural healthcare and the upcoming Giving Tuesday initiatives. This national day of giving is an opportunity for members of the McKenzie County community to contribute towards meaningful local projects, from the renovation of community spaces to important healthcare upgrades. Learn how you can participate and make a difference in your community’s healthcare landscape.
Lynn poignantly highlights four specific initiatives for Giving Tuesday, each designed to enhance the quality of life in McKenzie County. These include a new transportation vehicle for Good Shepherd Home and Horizon Assisted Living, a dining room expansion for better employee and guest interaction, patient support items for oncology patients, and the Grace Fund dedicated to supporting healthcare employees facing hardships. Each initiative represents a chance for the community to come together and support local causes, fostering a spirit of compassion and unity.
As we approach the end of the year, many of us reflect on the legacy we wish to leave behind. Vawnita and Lynn encourage us to consider where our charitable contributions go and how they can directly benefit our local community. Whether you’re participating in year-end tax planning or simply wish to give back, now’s the perfect moment to ensure your support stays local. Tune in to discover how McKenzie Health’s initiatives are building a stronger, more connected community, one generous gift at a time.
