100% of the proceeds will go to fund Highline’s New Emergency Room.
Is this money to fund the actual building, or to fund people who will need care and have no insurance? I’m not sure I understand the call for money. Does the hospital need money to pay for the building?
Yes, the Red Wine & Decadent Desserts will go to fund the construction. Highline Medical Center receives no tax support, i.e., we are not publicly funded. Yet, we are a not-for-profit hospital. The new Emergency Room and Patient Care Unit is a $60 million project, most of which is funded through bonds and reserves. But a $10 million capital campaign is needed to help complete the funding. The community has responded, and to date we have raised $5.4 million. But we still need more to reach our goal, and are so thankful for those individuals and businesses who have stepped up!
