LakeWood Regional Healthcare Foundation Awards $25,000 to Timber Mill Park SplashPad Project

The LakeWood Regional Healthcare Foundation, a subsidiary of CHI LakeWood Health, announced a grant of $25,000 to the Splash Pad Committee for the development of a new splash pad at Timber Mill Park. This generous contribution will support the creation of a safe and enjoyable recreational space for children and families in the community. The LakeWood Regional Healthcare Foundation Board of Directors recognized the significant community benefit of this project. 

“We are thrilled to support this vital community initiative,” said Tessa Strohl, LakeWood Regional Healthcare Foundation Board Member. “The Timber Mill Park Splash Pad will offer a much-needed resource for families, promoting a healthy outdoor activity and strengthening community bonds. This aligns perfectly with our Foundation’s mission to support not only healthcare but also community programs that impact health and wellness. Activities like this splash pad are directly connected to the quality of life in our county and surrounding areas.” 

The Timber Mill Splash Pad Committee has been working hard to meet their large goal of raising $350,000. Members of the committee stated they are beyond grateful for the community support, especially from local institutions. 

Established in 1997, the Foundation’s most ambitious fundraising effort raised $500,000 for the design and development of the new hospital and care center facility attached to the original healthcare facility. Today, the Foundation continues its mission to be “Your partner in building healthier communities where we live, work and play”. The Foundation is a subsidiary of CHI LakeWood Health.

CHI Lakewood Health Renews ACR Mammography Accreditation 

CHI Lakewood Health is pleased to announce the renewal of its accreditation from the American College of Radiology (ACR) for its mammography services. This prestigious three-year re-accreditation demonstrates CHI Lakewood Health’s continued commitment to providing high-quality, safe mammograms to its patients. 

The ACR Mammography Accreditation Program rigorously evaluates facilities across four critical areas: personnel qualifications, equipment quality, image quality, and patient safety. CHI Lakewood Health successfully completed the comprehensive renewal application process, reaffirming its adherence to the highest standards of care. ACR accreditation is a mandatory requirement for facilities offering mammography services. 

“We are committed to providing safe and high-quality mammograms for our patients, and receiving the ACR Mammography Accreditation proves this commitment,” says McCall Plourde, certified mammographer at CHI Lakewood Health.
