Throughout the community and all across the state, people just like you have given their resources as an investment in their future and the futures of their children and grandchildren. It doesn’t take great wealth or privilege to contribute. In fact, it’s as simple as this: a small community coming together to fulfill a large vision for the greater good. And that means every bit, quite literally, counts.

So get to know a few of the people below — then join us in our “Grand Vision for a Healthier Tomorrow.”

Rudy and Susan Moritz:

Nobody hopes to become intimately acquainted, as a patient, with their local hospital's emergency room and ICU. But a few days before Christmas, that suddenly and unexpectedly became the situation. All the personnel were professional, caring and concerned. A very serious event was quickly stabilized, and appropriate tests were done promptly to determine the cause of the potentially life-threatening condition. Due to the excellent attention and care, it was possible to return home on Christmas morning with a diagnosis and a course of action for recovering good health. We don't believe better, more prompt, or attentive care could have been received at any other facility. This is due to the excellent, dedicated healthcare professionals we are fortunate to have at our hospital. Their attention conveyed a level of personal commitment that might not be experienced in a more urban setting. Supporting our skilled and compassionate medical professionals with a state-of-the-art facility will help attract more top-quality medical personnel and advance the outstanding level of healthcare available in our community.

Debbie Lawson:

I began working at INTEGRIS Grove General Hospital in 1995. I left in 2004 to help care for my ailing father. After his death in 2005, I returned to GGH. I felt I had come home. I work alongside highly motivated, compassionate, dedicated individuals who genuinely care about the work they do. I give to the Grove General Hospital foundation because it’s the right thing to do. I think a new facility will show the public that their needs and concerns are taken seriously. I want us to succeed. I want us to be the best. This new hospital should provide that opportunity.

Eldon Hart:

I feel like it's important that I give to the building fund, because I live in the community. I think it's important for us to have access to the best possible healthcare and that includes a modern, up-to-date facility. I think if we have a good physical facility we will be able to attract the high-quality physicians that normally would go to the city. If they can find a modern hospital in a community like Grove, they might choose us over Tulsa or OKC. I also like the fact that by contributing, I'm helping to build a facility. I think that's an awesome opportunity. To be able to tell my kids and grandkids that I helped pay for the facility is pretty cool. It makes me feel like I have a lot more ownership in the hospital and makes me want it to succeed even more.
