2017 Annual Nursing Report

2017 Heart Chase On October 14, 2017, LewisGale Montgomery collaborated once again with the American Heart Association for the annual HeartChase/Heart Walk event. This event started in the New River Valley in 2014 and has nearly doubled in size each of the last four years. The event raised over $65,000 and we had over 500 volunteers show up to participate. The hospital had 11 teams registered in 2017. This is a high energy and competitive event with many of our nurses from LewisGale Montgomery being at the top of the winner’s board year after year. While the HeartChase/Walk event is great fun, it also means so much more to our community. The money raised by this event goes towards supporting the American Heart Association’s mission of Heart Disease and Stroke prevention and education. LewisGale Montgomery’s dedication to this event through sponsorship and participation prove that we live our mission each and every day. Above all else, we are committed to the care and improvement of human life. STRUCTURAL EMPOWERMENT
