Empowering Healthcare through Community Support

Donation Details

On Monday, the Hannibal Regional Auxiliary presented a remarkable check for $116,000 to the Hannibal Regional Healthcare System. This substantial donation was the result of the hard work and efforts of more than 240 volunteers. Through multiple special events and fundraisers in 2024, they fulfilled their six-year pledge of $600,000 to the ‘Building Better Tomorrows’ campaign.

The ‘Building Better Tomorrows’ campaign plays a crucial role in raising funds to assist with major renovations and expansion projects. It aims to enhance healthcare facilities and services across the region, ensuring that better health is accessible to the entire community. As Hannibal Regional Auxiliary President Janet Taylor stated, "It’s to help the region to have better health throughout the whole community and to bring the healthcare back to the region and not for people to have to travel all over to get it, we’re building it here."

Impact on Healthcare System

The funds raised have had a profound impact on the healthcare system. They have enabled an increase in surgical capacity, allowing for more efficient and timely surgeries. Additionally, critical care areas have been expanded and improved, providing better care for patients in need. The update of delivery rooms also ensures a more comfortable and safe environment for new mothers and their babies.

These improvements are essential in meeting the growing healthcare needs of the community. By investing in these areas, the Hannibal Regional Healthcare System is better equipped to serve its patients and provide high-quality care.

2025 Pledge

In 2025, the Hannibal Regional Auxiliary has set a pledge amount of $100,000. This continued support demonstrates their long-term commitment to the healthcare system and their determination to make a lasting difference.

With each donation and pledge, the Hannibal Regional Auxiliary is helping to build a stronger healthcare infrastructure in the region. Their efforts are truly commendable and are making a significant impact on the lives of countless individuals.
