Employee Giving
#WhyIGive
#WhyIGive is a campaign highlighting some of the many RRH employees who support the efforts of the RRH Foundation through regular giving. For them, we are truly grateful.
"During the 10 years I’ve called the Indian Wells Valley home,
I’ve watched Ridgecrest Regional Hospital grow and prosper. Most
of all, I’ve seen the hospital become one of our valley’s
most active and enthusiastic corporate citizens. Any time our community
gathers to celebrate, commemorate, or work toward a common goal, RRH is
there, giving back to our families and friends. In a nutshell, Ridgecrest
Regional Hospital just helps make the Indian Wells Valley a better place
to live – for all of us. Giving to the RRH Development Foundation
lets me actively participate in that tradition of giving back –
to proudly support our hospital’s and our valley’s future.
There’s no better investment than that."

"I give to the (RRH Development) Foundation, because I was born at
this hospital and I am proud to be working here 35 years later. I am so
impressed with all RRH has done for our community, healthcare providers
and my own family. There is no better place to contribute my money!"

pride for my community. I was raised here in Ridgecrest and my kids will

"I have been an employee at Ridgecrest Regional Hospital for the past
15 years. During that time, the hospital has not only supported me in
my educational path, but has also helped with the development of my professional
career. I am so thankful for the support and opportunities this hospital
has provided me with, that have enabled me to grow as both a nurse and
young leader. It is for this reason that I choose to give back, as a way
of thanks and gratitude for everything RRH has done for me"
~Breanne, RN, Emergency Department Manager

from the UK. My family, friends and I receive great care here and our
community’s wellness is my highest priority. It is for these reasons,
I give to the development foundation."
~ Celia MSN, Administrator Care Coordinator & Community Health
"I have been the Director of Community Outreach for over 6 years and
I have been blessed to be a part of many new and exciting programs that
are offered for free for our community that encourage and motivate health
and wellness. It amazes me the variety of programs that are offered and
being able to see the profound effect these programs are having on the
lives of those in our community, not only makes me proud to be part of
such an amazing organization but it also makes me want to give back. I
give so that we may help more people and touch more lives!"
