Family Health Services Foundation Raises $92,000 at Annual Gala
TWIN FALLS, IDAHO —The Family Health Services (FHS) Foundation is thrilled to announce that its 6th Annual Gala Fundraiser, held on September 13, raised an incredible $92,000 in support of vital health services for Southern Idaho residents. The funds raised will cover preventative services, like breast cancer screenings and colonoscopies, for patients in the greatest financial need.
The Oktoberfest celebration brought together generous donors, community leaders, and local businesses to celebrate the mission of the Family Health Services Foundation. “These organizations are more than just businesses, they are groups of people who genuinely care about our community,” said Aaron Houston, CEO of FHS. “We encourage everyone to recognize and support the businesses that make a real difference through their commitment to giving back to the Magic Valley. These funds will have a lasting impact on the lives of so many individuals who rely on our services, and we are truly humbled by the outpouring of support from our community.”
FHS is South-Central Idaho’s Community Health Center, and provides affordable medical, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy, and urgent care services to everyone, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay. The FHS Foundation was established to be a safety-net of funds available for patients who cannot afford essential services that are not offered at an FHS clinic. This includes breast cancer screenings, colonoscopies, and diabetic eye screenings. These services are often expensive, but they can often be the best form of defense in preventing illness or disease. If financial support could help you, or someone you know, please contact your closest FHS clinic.
FHS would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the following donors who made this year’s event the most successful to date:
Starr Corporation, HUB International, Banner Bank, Laughlin Ricks Architecture, Select Health, Fox Floral & Gifts, Cactus Petes, Idaho Central Credit Union, PMT, Idaho Dairymen’s Association, St. Luke’s Health System, Agropur, Idaho Milk Products, Lytle Signs, Inc., Swensen’s Magic Markets, and Baker Auction Co. LLC.
