After the success of the 20th Annual Harvest Ball on October 5, the Auxiliary of Glacial Ridge Health System was delighted to present a check to the GRHS Emergency Department, completing its $30,000 pledge. Thanks to the generous contributions from local businesses, community members, GRHS staff, and auxiliary members, the Emergency Department will be able to purchase a high-tech simulation mannequin (SimMan®) to enhance staff training opportunities. 

“We are incredibly grateful to the entire Auxiliary of Glacial Ridge Health System. Their dedication to our community and commitment to innovation have played a vital role in improving our care system. They are an extraordinary group whose continued support makes a lasting impact on the health and well-being of those we serve.  We can’t thank them enough for their support!” stated Josh Chan, Emergency Department Manager.
