Your Generosity in Action
Donor support has funded meaningful improvements across Deer Lodge Medical Center — from upgraded imaging equipment to the creation of safe, welcoming spaces for patients and families.
One recent example is the community-built playground, a project completed during the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic. With help from Foundation contributions, local partners and volunteer labor, the playground became a place of joy, resilience and connection for the whole community.
This vibrant outdoor space is designed for families and children, with a variety of play equipment including swings, slides and climbing structures, ensuring fun for kids of all ages and abilities. The unique design is handicap accessible and features a wheelchair-accessible merry-go-round.
