We’re excited to share another story of how the Bonner General Health Foundation is making a real difference for our patients and our hospital.

Today’s featured video highlights the impact of foundation‑supported investments on our Swing Bed Program, a service helping patients transition smoothly from acute care to post‑acute recovery without leaving the hospital.

This means receiving the skilled nursing and rehabilitation care you need in a familiar, local setting close to home.

Thanks to community‑driven fundraising efforts through our Foundation, we’ve been able to strengthen programs like this helping more patients recover comfortably and safely. In fact, inpatient days increased 40% in 2025, in part due to the addition and success of our swing bed services.

Your support truly matters and every donation helps expand high‑quality care right here in our community.
