Friends of the Golden and District Hospital was established in 2015 when a group of families wanted to show their support for the local hospital in a tangible way. Each family had their own story to tell and reasons for giving thanks to the Golden and District Hospital. The crowd funding project, Giving Thanks to the Golden & District hospital, was a very popular event with the community showing overwhelming support for the hospital. This is the fourth annual Thanksgiving fundraising crowd funding event.

The Golden Hospital and Durand Manor had a sizable list of equipment needs over and above their annual budget for which funding is not easily nor readily found. Since inception the Friends of the Golden and District Hospital has raised $94,800; money which stays in Golden and which has been used to purchase items from this list.

This year the Friends of the Golden & District Hospital intend to focus on the acquisition of a Lifepak Defibrillator ($25,000) and a Spacelabs monitor ($??,000) for the trauma room at a total cost of approximately $??,000 These items truly do make a big difference and have a huge impact on the hospital’s ability to handle heart related traumas and deliver a successful outcome.
