October 2025 – Rugby, N.D.
A Heartfelt Thank You
Back in June, our new EMS Quick Response Unit (QRU) officially hit the road, enhancing emergency care for Rugby and the surrounding communities. While the vehicle has already been making a difference on countless calls, we want to take a moment now to recognize a key partner who helped make this project possible.
Through the Twice Blessed program, made possible by INSPIRITUS Community Health Foundation, we were able to successfully raise the funds needed to purchase this life-saving vehicle. Their generous matching support—along with the incredible response from our community donors—turned this project from a vision into a reality.
This QRU allows our paramedic to respond faster, reach patients in hard-to-access areas, and provide advanced life support before patients arrive at the hospital.
Thank you to INSPIRITUS Community Health Foundation and everyone who contributed to the 2024-2025 Twice Blessed campaign. Your support strengthens rural emergency care and truly makes a difference.
To date, ICHF has distributed $15.8 million in grants, and has assets of $19 million including endowment funds for more than 30 organizations. Through the generosity and long term vision of our benefactors, ICHF continually works toward justice, peace and the transformation of society.
Congratulations GSHS Foundation / Heart of America Medical Center in Rugby, ND. Thank you for serving emergency needs in the area!
