Foundation

The Audubon County Hospital Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization established in 1994 to promote and strive for improvement of healthcare facilities and services for residents of Audubon County and the surrounding area. The Foundation consists of a seven-member board representing the urban and rural areas of the county and a Director of Development. The board accepts gifts and conducts fundraising events. The board then utilizes funds to promote positive changes in healthcare so that present and future generations may experience improved health and greater quality of life. Above all, the Foundation supports Audubon County Memorial Hospital’s mission of excellence with quality and compassion to those we serve.

2027 ANNUAL GIVING INFORMATION

Dear Community Supporter,

The Audubon County Hospital Foundation is excited to begin another year of giving back to Audubon County Memorial Hospital and the patients and families it serves. For our 2027 Annual Giving Initiative, the Foundation is proud to support the development of a new, dedicated helipad at Audubon County Memorial Hospital.

As a rural hospital, ACMH provides emergency and critical care close to home, while also relying on air medical transport when patients require a higher level of specialized care at a regional medical center. Currently, the hospital’s Emergency Department driveway serves as the helicopter landing zone. Each helicopter activation requires the driveway to be secured, temporarily affecting access for patients, visitors, ambulances, and other emergency vehicles. Vehicles in the landing area must also be moved before the helicopter can safely land, adding another step to the process when time is critical.

A new, dedicated, FAA-compliant helipad will provide a safer, more reliable, and more efficient landing location for air medical transport. Most importantly, it will allow air and ground emergency services to operate simultaneously, creating a more functional process for patients, hospital staff, EMS, and air ambulance crews when timely care matters most.

Throughout the coming year, the Foundation’s fundraising efforts will directly benefit this project, including our 2026 Annual Wreath Sale, the 2nd Annual Gala – “Love at First Flight” on Saturday, February 13, 2027, the 2027 Golf Fundraiser, and many fundraisers in between.

Your generosity helps make our giving efforts successful and allows us to continue investing directly in healthcare here at home.

Our Foundation is incredibly fortunate to have businesses, organizations, and individuals who continue to step forward when our hospital needs support. Every sponsorship, donation, and contribution plays a role in what we are able to accomplish and helps take important projects from ideas to realities.

Thank you for your continued support of the Audubon County Hospital Foundation, Audubon County Memorial Hospital, and local healthcare.
Sincerely,
Bliss Weitl
Foundation Director
