💥 70 YEARS of Caring: A Family Legacy That Helped Build BRRH 💥
Meet Colby Boston, our Human Resources Manager. His family's connection to our hospital runs generations deep—right back to its founding!
In the early 1950s, the community rallied to build BRRH. Colby's grandmother, Mary Sue Gouge, then just 18 and working at the Mica House, committed to donating a full day's pay every month for three months. Her sacrifice, along with thousands of others, made this grassroots miracle happen.
As Colby reflects, "It’s a great feeling... to know that someone from my family helped support building this hospital."
This 70th Anniversary, we celebrate the spirit of dedication and family legacies like Colby's that made it all possible.
🎉Come celebrate seven decades as your hometown hospital with the entire BRRH family! 🎉

🧁Sweet Treats & Gifts: Enjoy refreshments and receive a special, free commemorative gift, while supplies last.
