Generous gift from Rose White of Lakin will finance technological upgrades for enhanced patient monitoring

 LAKIN, Kan. (December 21, 2020) — Kearny County Hospital (KCH) is honored to announce a donation of $130,000 from Rose White, a longtime supporter and valued member of the Lakin community.

White’s generous gift will fund an upgraded patient monitoring system, enabling continuous visual monitoring of every patient in the hospital from one centralized nurses’ station. This technological innovation allows the hospital to maximize staffing, quickly access important data, and easily connect with all patients.

“As the grateful beneficiary of Rose White’s generosity, Kearny County Hospital offers our deep and sincere appreciation for her support,” CEO David Hofmeister said. “This state-of-the-art technology further enhances our ability to provide outstanding care and service to our patients. Rose’s gift is a testament to how special she is and how much she cares about our hospital and the community we serve. To us, she is a true hero.”

White has donated more than $255,000 to Kearny County Hospital, including $125,000 in 2018 to acquire ultrasound equipment, which allowed KCH to add a technician to offer screenings 40 hours a week. In 2019, White also funded an architectural report to help determine how the hospital could expand its mission of quality, compassionate healthcare services for the people of Lakin and surrounding areas.

“I want to see some good done with what I have. I don’t want a lot of money when I am gone. I am honored to give where I feel I can help the most people,” White said. “It’s a true privilege to support the wonderful staff of Kearny County Hospital and their impact in our community in whatever way I can.”

White has lived in Lakin since 1946 and has spent many years serving the community. In addition to teaching cooking in the local 4H chapter for 16 years, she is an active member of her church and was named Kansas Master Homemaker in 1994 for her community and church work. She also is a member of the Philanthropic Educational Organization, which promotes and funds educational opportunities for the advancement of women.

Season’s Greetings from Kearny County Hospital!

As this challenging year comes to a close, I am filled with gratitude for the strength, resolve and compassion I see inside and outside our hospital every day. Despite many new obstacles, our KCH family has been strong and united in our commitment to quality care with the personal touch everyone deserves.

Kearny County Hospital has been dedicated to the health of this community for more than 60 years, and we will continue that commitment for generations to come. The best health outcomes come from long-term provider-patient relationships, which are the heart of everything we do. We understand and support the need for choices when it comes to healthcare, and we want everyone to know they can put their trust in us for the highest quality care available. Perhaps you’ve even seen our new campaign called, Your Health. Your Choice. If not, I encourage you to visit kearnyhealth.com to learn more about what we do and how we deliver whole-person, whole-family care.

As a team, we take our responsibility for the health of this community very seriously. We embrace all people and points of view, and we infuse compassion and caring into every interaction. As doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals who live, work and play in this community – with and among you and your families – we believe in whole person, family-centered care that elevates health for all of us. After all, healthier people build a healthier community, and we are all in this together for better health.

The choice of where to go for your care is an important one. Choosing the doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals you know and trust, right here at home, is the best way to protect your family’s health and wellness. It’s your health and your choice, and we will always be here to support you every step of the way.

I wish you all peace and happiness this holiday season and throughout the coming year. Here’s to your health!
