We provide funds and in-kind services to enhance the quality of life for Douglas County Health Center's long-term care residents and employees since 1994. Our facility provides these services to 254 residents and specializes in memory care, skilled rehabilitation, and hospice services. One generous donation from Dr. Thomas McGruder to provide nursing scholarships to DCHC employees was our first mission. The rest is history! (Check it out on our website)
