Community support for Sparrow Clinton Hospital's new Emergency Services Department in St. Johns continues to grow. The Sparrow Clinton Hospital Foundation recently received a $25,000 grant from COMLINK for the Right Here, Right Now Capital Campaign.
This gift was made during the "quiet phase" of the campaign, which reached out to leading philanthropists, community businesses, and hospital physicians and caregivers. Major gifts to date have come from individuals, foundations, farms, service organizations, Sparrow Clinton Hospital Auxiliary, and area businesses.
