Benefits for Each and Every Patient Charity Invitational has been a success for over 21 years because the people of our community believe in what we do. Together with Gallup’s individuals and businesses, we have partnered to reach incredible goals. In recent years, the funds we have raised through the Western Health Foundation’s Charity Invitational have purchased equipment for the operating room, reopened the Substance Abuse Treatment Center, and renovated the old dialysis building into a beautiful and inspiring Wellness Center.
We believe everyone is entitled to receive compassionate, high quality care in a facility that is as attractive, comfortable, and as efficient as any facility you might find in a big city. Every healthcare facility should continuously upgrade to comply with safety, caring, and environmental standards. Funds raised from Charity Invitational 22 will be used to renovate Rehoboth McKinley Christian Hospital’s patient rooms and bathrooms. In addition to paint, new flooring, bathroom fixtures, and furnishings, we will purchase state-of-the-art patient beds. Each standard bed will cost approximately $11,000. We will also purchase a bariatric bed and specialized beds for the Intensive Care Unit, which are far more costly than standard patient beds. Plans also include the purchase and installation of computers in each patient room. These will be used by providers and nurses for accessing reports and test results, as well as documenting orders, care plans, and other information essential to providing the best care for each patient. In all, the total cost of this project will be over $1 million. The choice to renovate patient rooms is part of Rehoboth McKinley Christian Health Care Services’ overall commitment to you and our community — to invest in improving and enhancing the care we provide. The benefits of our project will touch every patient of RMCH, every family member, every visitor, our staff, and providers.
