What's New at GVMH - November 2011

» 2011 GVMH Foundation Evening to Remember
The 2011 GVMH Foundation’s "Evening to Remember" is planned for Saturday, November 19, 2011 at the Red Fox Winery in Urich with festivities to begin at 6 pm. It’s going to be a great evening! The Birthing Center will be the recipient of funds raised this year for equipment to test the hearing of our newborns and detect problems early. What a gift this will be for our tiniest patients. For those who prefer not to drive that evening, bus transportation will be available complimentary of Apple Bus which will leave the hospital parking lot at 5:30 p.m. and depart the winery at 10:00 p.m.

For more information, please call Kathy Hill at 890-7108 or kshill@gvmh.org.

We hope to see you at the event and appreciate your support of the GVMH Foundation!
