How You Can Help During COVID-19
We’re so grateful for the generosity and support our communities have shown to our patients, residents and health care providers throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Your help is still needed. We’re accepting donations of:
- Employee Crisis Fund gifts: Help local health care workers who have been hit the hardest by the effects of COVID-19 outbreak and other unforeseen circumstances. This fund supports Sanford Health and Good Samaritan Society team members who are facing unexpected financial hardship.
- Blood donations: Blood supply has hit critically low levels. Please consider donating to save lives today. It’s completely safe to give if you’re healthy.
