CHCS raises funds for Damon's Purpose, wins traveling trophy

Four northeast Kansas healthcare organizations recently collaborated to raise funds for Damon’s Purpose, a grassroots organization dedicated to suicide awareness and prevention and improving mental health. We’re proud to say that employees from Sabetha Community Hospital, Nemaha Valley Community Hospital, Holton Community Hospital, and Community HealthCare System raised $5,813.15 for this amazing cause! We hope it will help Damon’s Purpose continue to do amazing work in our area, particularly in reaching out to youth to remind them that ‘It’s OK to not be OK’ and to seek help with mental health. Part of the fundraiser was a friendly competition among the hospitals to see which one could raise the most money per capita. We created a traveling trophy, and we plan to engage in fundraising for a charitable cause each year. This year’s winner was Community HealthCare System, which raised $9.65 per employee! We look forward to future competitions
