Baxter Health Foundation Launches Phase 1 of Heartbeat of Hope: Heart and Vascular Expansion Campaign

Baxter Health Foundation is excited to announce the launch of Phase 1 of the Heartbeat of Hope: Heart and Vascular Expansion Campaign, with a goal of raising $2 million. This campaign is set to make a transformative impact, including the addition of a new, state-of-the-art cath lab, alongside expanding services for patients in need of life-saving heart and vascular care.

The new cath lab will allow for more comprehensive diagnostic and interventional procedures, ensuring patients can receive the care they need close to home without the need to travel for specialized treatments. The funds raised during Phase 1 will also support the expansion of heart and vascular services to ensure that more patients receive timely and life-saving treatments. This campaign represents a significant investment in the health and well-being of the community, ensuring that patients have access to the care they need, right here at home.

The Heartbeat of Hope Campaign is further strengthened by the generosity of the J.E. & L.E. Mabee Foundation, which has pledged a $500,000 Challenge Grant. This grant will be unlocked when Baxter Health Foundation reaches its $2 million fundraising goal by October 1, 2025. Every donation made to the campaign will make an impact and accelerate the project’s success.

“The Heartbeat of Hope Campaign is an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of our friends, neighbors, and loved ones,” said Sarah Edwards, Executive Director of Baxter Health Foundation. “We have seen firsthand the incredible generosity of our community and their commitment to improving healthcare in our region. When you donate, you’re not just supporting a healthcare expansion project — you’re investing in the well-being of our entire community. Every donation, large or small, brings us one step closer to reaching our goal and unlocking the full potential of the Mabee Foundation’s challenge grant. We are so excited to be a part of Baxter Health’s expansion project and watch it save lives right here in our community. We hope you consider a gift and join us on this mission by participating in the Heartbeat of Hope Campaign.”
