Earlier this spring, the Lebanon Community Hospital Foundation Board of Trustees awarded $238,226 in allocations to Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital departments and off-site facilities. The allocations will go toward renovations, patient care programs and equipment.
The allocations match dollar-for-dollar the amount employees pledge in the Samaritan Employee Caring Campaign each October. Employees pledged more than $142,000 in the 2017 campaign, and the foundation went beyond that amount with the 2018 allocations.
