Pictured above: Dr. Thad Nelson, Michiko Kurisu, Hoichi Kurisu and Joanne Nelson celebrate donors who contributed to the Healing Garden Endowment at the Lebanon Community Hospital Foundation in 2024. Due to tremendous community support, we met an ambitious goal and raised $200,000 which was very generously matched by the Nelsons. Interest from the endowment will help fund repairs, enhancements and long-term maintenance of the three Japanese healing gardens in Lebanon designed by Hoichi Kurisu.
The Samaritan Foundations offer giving programs that span across all of our foundations and communities. Learn more about our giving programs and how we recognize our generous donors who collaborate with us to build healthier communities together.
