Baxter Health Foundation Reaches $2 Million Goal For Heartbeat of Hope: Heart and Vascular Expansion Campaign

Baxter Health Foundation is excited to announce that Phase 1 of the Heartbeat of Hope: Heart and Vascular Expansion Campaign has successfully reached its $2 million fundraising goal ahead of the October 1 deadline.

This incredible achievement has also unlocked a $500,000 Challenge Grant from the J.E. & L.E. Mabee Foundation, bringing the total impact of the campaign to $2.5 million. We are so grateful for the Mabee Foundation’s generosity and funding to help purchase the major medical equipment needed to support our new cath lab.

Launched in February 2025, the Heartbeat of Hope campaign is a transformative initiative aimed at expanding heart and vascular services at Baxter Health. With this funding, Baxter Health will add a new, state-of-the-art catheterization lab and enhance life-saving cardiovascular care close to home.

“We are absolutely humbled and inspired by the generosity of our donors,” said Sarah Edwards, Executive Director of Baxter Health Foundation. “This campaign is about more than just building a new cath lab, it’s about saving lives, supporting families, and strengthening our community. Because of you, we’re making that vision a reality.”

Baxter Health Foundation extends its deepest gratitude to every individual, family, business, and organization that contributed. From heartfelt donations to transformational gifts, every contribution helped make this milestone possible.

“Our community once again showed up with compassion and commitment,” Edwards added. “This achievement is yours.”
