Founded in 1992, the W.C. Heiam Medical Foundation was created to help provide high-tech equipment as well as special programs at the Cook Hospital. Vital to the continued growth and viability of the facility, the foundation has contributed tens of thousands of dollars since its founding. These funds have gone a long way in ensuring that the Cook Hospital can continue to meet the needs of residents and visitors in its 2,500-square-mile service area.

In the past 25 to 30 years, approximately 35 hospitals in small towns all across Minnesota have closed their doors. Though some have survived by consolidating, most have dissolved – their staffs absorbed by larger medical centers and HMOs.

Summer benefit raises $56,000
  
Oct. 1 — Once again, the annual Heiam Foundation benefit was very successful, raising $56,642.05 for the foundation. Proceeds came from cash and ticket donations, tips, live and silent auctions, raffle sales and the foundation's pre-benefit "Chick Flick" party.
In spite of challenges and its location in a town of less than 1,000, the Cook Hospital in Cook, Minnesota, is defying the accepted fact that health care facilities can't survive in small communities. Dedicated to individualized attention as well as state-of-the-art, high-quality medical services, the hospital is a product of a community that recognizes value and refuses alternatives.

At the W.C. Heiam Medical Foundation, we work to support the Cook Hospital because we understand that health care is an integral component of community and economic development.

Your support can help the Cook Hospital continue to provide the highest level of health care for everyone.
