St. John's employees continue fund drive

St. John’s Lutheran Hospital employees have now contributed more than $150,000 through payroll deductions to a fund to help pay for the new hospital.

St. John’s expects to break ground on the new hospital this coming spring. By then, employees will have raised more than $250,000 in support of the project.

The total fundraising goal of the hospital foundation and Capital Campaign Committee is $1.5 million. They have raised $983,000 toward that goal and hope to reach $1 million by the end of the year.
