Did you know that nearly every piece of medical equipment and item of technology used at Groves is funded by donors?
New medical technologies and equipment continue to develop on an on-going basis, and old equipment becomes outdated. Your gift to Groves ensures our hospital stays current to allow you, your friends, family, and loved ones receive the care they need within their own community.
