Council Members of the United Church of Christ in
Schleswig: Gaylen Bahnsen, Brian Sieren,
and Jerry Struck with Horn Memorial CEO, Chris Nichols
The United Church of Christ in Schleswig recently pledged
their support to Horn Memorial Hospital’s $9 million Inpatient Building
Project. Each year the Church Council
goes through a grant selection process to support programs with funds received
from the Jens A Carstensen Family Memorial. Horn Memorial applied for funding and received
$25,000 towards the Project. With this
donation, the church received naming rights to one of the seventeen patient
rooms.
The Council shared, “We believe the Carstensen Family would
have been proud to support Horn Memorial’s project. We appreciate the importance of local
healthcare for our communities. Projects
such as this one ensure the viability of maintaining local healthcare in the
future.”
The Inpatient Project continues to remain on schedule with
the interior work well underway. A
community open house is expected to be scheduled in July, prior to moving
patients to the new wing in early August.
Fundraising efforts will continue throughout the project. If you are interested in contributing to this
worthwhile community project or would like to learn more, please contact Sarah
Harm, Public Relations Director, at Horn Memorial Hospital (364-7227).
