North Star Community Credit Union pledges support to the hospital’s Inpatient Building Project

Angie Schiernbeck, Joe Babcock, and Chris Nichols

North Star Community Credit Union pledges their support to Horn Memorial Hospital’s $9 million Inpatient Building Project.  They recently donated $25,000 for naming rights to one of the seventeen patient rooms.  On behalf of North Star, President/CEO, Jeff Hayes stated, “North Star Community Credit Union recognizes the importance and value of Horn Memorial Hospital and the essential services and level of care it provides the community. We believe it is important to take part in assisting our community hospital on behalf of not only credit union members, but also all area individuals and their families who rely on such an important facility and its services.”

CEO, Chris Nichols comments, “We are so fortunate to have such great support from the community on this project.  We have received naming rights to 14 of the 17 patient rooms as well as the courtyards, several smaller staff-based rooms, and three of the four corridors.  In addition, the membership drive earmarked for the Inpatient Project has been remarkable with donations still steadily coming in.”


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).
