AnMed Health Foundation honored generous donors

It is with great thanks to the 2,336 contributors that The AnMed Health Foundation is able to provide life-saving treatments to citizens throughout the community. The foundation’s 2017 highlight project was the purchase and commission of the brand new AnMed Health mobile mammography coach which offers greater access for more than 2,000 patients to receive lifesaving screenings in our region.
