Newman Regional Health celebrated the 10th anniversary of its Denim and Diamonds with record fundraising.
The gala event Friday at the Emporia State Memorial Union Webb Hall culminated two months of events, and all told the series of fundraisers generated $107,000. Last year’s prior high-water mark brought in around $100,000.
Proceeds will buy five General Electric Avance CS2 anesthesia machines to benefit the hospital’s surgery and labor/delivery departments. The machines -- costing $50,000 each -- will be purchased over a maximum of three years and help the hospital safely perform more than 2,500 anesthetic procedures per year.
Director of Business Development McKenzie Cinelli said it was apparent early on this year would be “a special year” for the fundraiser. She thanked the Denim and Diamonds committee and the community, adding “the amount of money that was raised is a true testament to what our local community hospital means to those that we serve.”
