The act of sacrificing something such as time or money in order to help others in need can give us a sense of satisfaction and purpose in life.
When it impacts the people around us—like our friends and neighbors—in our local communities, greater satisfaction can be realized because we can see the benefits derived from our generosity.
We are excited to share with you the establishment of the Aspire Rural Health System Foundation (adding Deckerville Community Hospital and merging the former – Hills and Dales Healthcare and Marlette Regional Hospital Foundations). We are united knowing that we are “better together”. This unification will significantly strengthen and expand accessibility to rural healthcare for thousands of residents in our thumb region of Michigan.
A gift to the Aspire Rural Health System Foundation is a meaningful way to engage in a partnership with your local hospital and to ensure that Thumb Area communities have access to quality health care services, close to home.
Aspire Rural Health System is a 501c3 non-profit hospital (TIN 35-2368240) and all contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
