Big news for our community 📣

Thanks to a generous $40,000 investment from PacificSource, St. Peter's Health Foundation is expanding programs that support some of our most vulnerable neighbors.

This funding strengthens two critical initiatives:

🏠 Housing is Healthcare - helping individuals experiencing housing instability reconnect with care, resources and stability.

💙Patient Assistance Program - providing essentials like transportation, medications and medical supplies so patients can focus on healing

Because health doesn't start in a clinic, it starts with having what you need to live and recover. We're incredibly grateful for partners like PacificSource who believe in meeting people where they are and investing in healthier futures for all.

Please join us as we celebrate a truly extraordinary milestone, longtime St. Peter's Health volunteer Helen Bunkowske’s 100th birthday, on Wednesday, April 8.


The celebration will take place from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. in the Education Center at the Regional Medical Center. Stop by to wish Helen a happy birthday and help us honor her incredible legacy of service.


Helen began volunteering at St. Peter’s in 1972 and has served in many roles over the years, including making beds, delivering water, welcoming visitors in the surgical waiting room, and escorting patients and guests to their rooms or appointments.


For more than 30 years, she has also provided compassionate support to patients and families through the St. Peter’s Hospice program, and for the past 12 years, she has volunteered with the No One Dies Alone (NODA) program—offering comfort and presence when it is needed most.

We hope you’ll join us in celebrating Helen’s centennial birthday and her decades of heartfelt dedication to our community.

Supporting people through grief requires compassion, presence, and deep care for others. For Grant Fairbrother ’24, the Master of Social Work Program at Carroll College prepared him to do that work every day.

Now serving as a hospice volunteer and bereavement coordinator at St. Peter’s Health, Grant provides grief counseling for individuals and groups, supports hospice volunteers, and offers community education and bereavement care.

“I use my MSW education daily, especially the values and client-centered interventions so necessary for grief support.”

Grant also says the relationships he formed at Carroll continue to shape his work today.

“I feel connected to my cohort and faculty… I feel lucky to have attended such an interpersonally minded program.”
