Ephraim McDowell Health Care Foundation (EMHCF) is proud to announce that it received a $30,000 gift from Farmers National Bank. The donation represents Farmers’ annual gift to the Foundation and will be applied to the Foundation’s Good Works Fund.

“Our community thrives when we take care of one another,” says Marty Gibson, Farmers National Bank President & CEO. “We invest in the Ephraim McDowell Health Care Foundation to help ensure our neighbors throughout Central Kentucky have access to amazing care and services. We applaud our healthcare heroes.”

Farmers National Bank is one of the Foundation’s Premier Sponsors, which means that it is a leading sponsor of most of the Foundation’s annual activities, including Happy Heart Day, Golf Scramble and Luminosity. Over the course of Farmers’ lifetime support to the Foundation, they have donated a total of $463,300 to the Foundation.

“We are so appreciative of the financial support from Farmers National Bank,” said Laura Richard, executive director of the Ephraim McDowell Health Care Foundation. “Their lifetime commitment of nearly half a million dollars has made a tremendous difference in allowing the Ephraim McDowell Health system to offer life-changing initiatives across our system.”

Richard noted that contributions to the Foundation have funded advanced equipment for Ephraim McDowell’s hospitals, specialized programming for children with special needs through Kids Can Do, expansions to address critical community needs such as behavioral health, and the provision of free medications and durable medical equipment for patients who otherwise could not afford them.
