Let’s take a closer look at the symptoms.

Pure imagination brought to life for a fantastic cause!

Shout out to our Senior Leaders and staff! They are the absolute best and make working at CFVH so much fun!

Yesterday was International W***y Wonka Day and the conclusion of an employee driven fundraiser to raise funds for our CFVH Foundation.

Dressed to the nines in their whimsical W***y Wonka themed outfits included Dr. Greg Hanson, CFVH President/CEO (W***y Wonka), Carla Neiman, CFO (Charlie Bucket), Jeanie Gentry, COO (Oompa Loompa), Lisa Eberhardt, CNO (Violet Beauregarde) and Sara Nestor, Family Medicine Network Manager (Infamous Golden Ticket).

Staff joined together for a multi-course luncheon inspired by the multi-course chewing gum featured in the film. They also enjoyed a chocolate fountain and candy bar before one "Golden Ticket" was drawn to win a W***y Wonka themed movie basket.

The funds have been earmarked for the purchase of a new Long Term Care Resident Transport Bus and we are getting closer to our goal of $60,000.

Huge thank you to Sara Nestor, Family Medicine Network Manager who spearheaded this particular fundraiser which ended up raising over $6,000. This amount, in addition to other donations, grants, and events this year have helped us reach over $44,000 so far to go towards the bus. We have a little further to go but are proud of what we’ve achieved so far.
