The Crete Area Health Care Foundation
The Crete Area Health Care Foundation is the fund raising arm of the
Crete Area Medical Center. The Foundation was formed in 1990 with Bill
Heitman being the first Foundation Director. The Foundation has 17 directors
from the Crete area. The board also has two non-voting members, which
include Carol Friesen, President of CAMC, and Susan Chrastil, Director
of Development.
The Foundation supports and funds medical equipment and facility renovations
with donations received. The Foundation also provides medical training
for employees of the Medical Center to assist them in maintaining and
improving their medical skills through scholarships. The Foundation
has always been independent with all monies received staying in the
Crete area and they will continue to remain committed to the same cause.
All donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Donors
giving gifts accumulative of $1000 or more are recognized on our "Wall
of Commitment" in the hospital.
The Foundation's annual campaign, the Care and Share campaign, usually
begins in March. Community volunteers make up the task force and are
dedicated to this fund raising effort to benefit our hospital. Participants
may choose to designate their donations to the general budget, which
includes our special projects, or endowment. Other annual events are
the Golf Tournament, Bowl-A-Thon and Tree of Lights
