Testimonials

"In the midst of the COVID crisis I have felt so very grateful to be social distancing here in Gunnison, where I am able to get outside and exercise and be surrounded by the natural beauty of our community, In considering how to support that community, I decided to support the hospital, which has been forced to deal directly with all the health issues and secondary problems arising from the COVID situation. I knew that a contribution to the GVH Foundation would be helpful and would definitely be put to good use. I think it is always very important to support our local institutions, and I am happy that I have been able to do that." Carol Spector

"The nurses and staff of GVH place themselves between us and the Covid19 pandemic every day in the ER, our local hospital rooms, in the testing lanes, the ambulances, the lab and through home health and hospice services. They literally save our lives and often put theirs at risk to do so. I want them to know that their community appreciates what they do and to hear a big THANK YOU!!!" Marv Weidner
