Pioneers Healthcare Foundation

A building’s foundation is constructed over time, piece by piece. The same is true with a charitable organization. Community members have helped lay the groundwork for the Pioneers Healthcare Foundation to achieve our goals. Over time, individual donations from the members of our community have helped us amass the money necessary to fund important healthcare services that Pioneers Medical Center provides to the White River Valley community.

We’re lucky to live in an area that is consistently growing and thriving. However, this also brings additional challenges in our ability to address the rapidly expanding healthcare needs of the region. The cost of providing our services continues to escalate, and PMC’s financial needs are great. Pioneers Healthcare Foundation plays an integral role in raising the money we need, and we can’t do it without the help of our community.

Raising the Bar for Healthcare in Rio Blanco County

The Pioneers Healthcare Foundation is dedicated to strengthening the availability, affordability and quality of healthcare in Meeker and Rio Blanco County. The organization raises important resources to help:

  • Recruit quality healthcare professionals to the region
  • Meet the increased demand for home health and support services
  • Deliver specific wellness and treatment programs that improve the health of our community members

Capital improvements, such as equipment and facility upgrades, are constant challenges throughout the healthcare industry. Without the ability to make these ongoing upgrades as needed, it becomes extremely difficult for PMC to maintain the exceptional levels of quality care our community deserves. The foundation regularly pursues grant options for many capital investments; however, local matching dollars and other in-kind contributions are often required.

Through the creation of the Pioneers Healthcare Foundation, individuals in our community can support the hospital and its programs under one comprehensive, sustainable organization dedicated to strengthening our community’s healthcare capacity.
