The Avera Gettysburg Foundation is hoping to raise $1-million by June 1 to reach the goal to build the new Avera Missouri River Health Center.
Avera Gettysburg Foundation director Kellie Yackley says despite a difficult spring, area residents raised more than $2-million in 90 days.
Avera Health announced plans to raise funds to build a new 21,800 square-foot medical center in February, committing $9 million toward the $12 million project.
Given the current financial struggles of many people due to the depressed agriculture economy, Yackley says they know it’ll be challenging to raise the final $1-million, but she hopes people in north central South Dakota will come through.
Yackley says having access to a modern medical facility will save lives in the Gettysburg and surrounding areas.
