Jersey Shore State Bank Contributes $75,000 to JS Hospital Building Fund
Jersey Shore, PA (May 15, 2006) – Jersey Shore State Bank has offered their support to Jersey Shore Hospital’s Capital Campaign with a $75,000 donation. The donation will be distributed to the Campaign over a five-year period. “Jersey Shore State Bank was founded on the principle of giving back to the community, and this belief is still as strong today as it was in 1934,” Ronald Walko, President & CEO of Jersey Shore State Bank said. “I can’t think of a better way to help our community than to support the local hospital.”
Jersey Shore Hospital has embarked on a $2.5 million Capital Campaign to help fund the $17 million, two-story addition set to break ground later this year. The new facility will house over 45,000 square feet of modern, efficient patient care space, including a new emergency department, diagnostic radiology and imaging, inpatient and outpatient surgery, a state of the art critical care unit and new central lobby and registration.
Upon accepting the donation, Hubert Valencik, Chairman of the Board of Directors for Jersey Shore Hospital said, “On behalf of the Board of Directors of Jersey Shore Hospital, I am very happy to accept this contribution from Jersey Shore State Bank. Both the Bank and the Hospital have been a vital part of the Jersey Shore community for many years and have contributed back to the community in many ways. We are pleased to accept this check from JSSB-an important example of their commitment and investment in our community.”
Jersey Shore Hospital was built on its present site in 1951 and has not undergone a major fundraising campaign since 1969. The Hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and is designated as a Critical Access Hospital by the State of PA and the Medicare Program.
