Why does Becky Ruppert give to the foundation?

Becky Ruppert, MS, RN, OCN, Salem Health radiation oncology nurse, has proudly donated to the Salem Health Foundation since 2013.

“If we didn’t have the resources the foundation provides for us, we wouldn’t be able to provide such a comprehensive level of care to patients,” said Becky.

Becky appreciates having the option of offering a patient’s out-of-town visitors the opportunity of staying at Salem Hospital’s hospitality house, the Parkview Family Lodge. Funded by the foundation, the lodge provides inexpensive overnight accommodations for family and friends who might be unable to afford a hotel.

Contributing to the foundation benefits Salem Health’s patients, employees and our community.

Salem Health’s two independent nonprofit foundations — the Salem Health Foundation and Salem Health West Valley Foundation — raise donations from the community, including our employees. The foundations support a wide range of projects, programs and equipment that are not otherwise included in normal operating budgets.

Both foundations are governed by boards of trustees made up of business, civic and philanthropic leaders. The trustees raise funds and formulate long-range goals and policies, while staff manage day-to-day operations.
