Exciting Developments at Johnson County Healthcare Center Foundation

In a recent report to the Hospital Board, Chris McBarnes, the Director of the Johnson County Healthcare Center (JCHC) Foundation, provided updates on their latest initiatives. One noteworthy development is the planned construction of employee housing on a property owned by the JCHC, a move that aims to enhance the living and working conditions for staff members.

Community Support Shines Through Fundraising

In addition to the housing project, McBarnes shared positive news from the recent JCHC Foundation Golf Outing, which saw an impressive turnout of 22 teams. The event raised approximately $29,000 for the Amie Holt Care Center. This is a significant contribution, especially when considered in conjunction with other fundraising efforts that have accumulated a total of $170,000 earmarked for various projects at the care center this summer.

Investing in Care and Support Services

Another exciting announcement from McBarnes included the upcoming delivery of a new van intended for use by the Amie Holt Care Center and Senior Life Solutions. The anticipated delivery time is around six weeks, which promises to enhance transportation for patients and senior service users in the community.

The ongoing support from the community, as demonstrated by the successful fundraisers, is vital for the JCHC Foundation as it continues to strive for improvements in healthcare services and facilities.
