We extend our gratitude to Avita Hospital for their generous donation.

Avita Hospital donated a new A.E.D. to the BNOC this past week. And not only have they gifted a new A.E.D., they have also offered to maintain it every 6 months so the BNOC can remain confident it has a working A.E.D. on-site. A new A.E.D. typically costs around $800, so this generous donation represents a big savings for the BNOC.

When the BNOC discovered it was in need of a new A.E.D., Mayor Terry Brenkus approached Avita Hospital’s Kim Winkle, and she was happy to help secure one.

Thank you to Kim Winkle, as well as Chuck Cangelosi of the Avita Foundation, for your generous donation of life saving equipment. Avita has been a blessing to the entire Clear Fork Valley since the day they opened their clinic doors!
