Karen Schaitel, Board Chair for the Foundation, commented, "The Foundation plays an important role in the Cypress Health Region, by providing funds to purchase equipment; training healthcare professionals through our Skills Enrichment Scholarship Program; supporting Regional recruitment and retention strategies and enriching patient services. With this gift, we will be able to continue supplying support in these areas and we hope by doing so, we can continue the legacy created by the Orange Benevolent Society of Saskatchewan." The Orange Benevolent Society of Saskatchewan of Indian Head, SK, was incorporated in 1923, and will be discontinuing operations effective December 31, 2014.

| Your support builds the Gathering Place Wall | The Gathering Place Wall, located on the grounds of the Swift Current Regional Hospital, is a unique way you and your family can support healthcare in the Southwest. Your donation of $100 or more will place your name on a plaque which will be fastened to one of the bricks of the wall -- the bricks that were salvaged from our old hospital. The chart below illustrates the bricks still available, as we are at the halfway point of all bricks being "purchased" through generous donations. See the Gathering Place Wall page for further details.
 Read the inscriptions on the Gathering Place Wall.
