Extreme Community Makeover

Extreme Community Makeover

Lima Memorial Health System (LMHS) participated in the 5th Annual Extreme Community Makeover on Saturday, June 2 at the Bradfield Community Center. Volunteers from LMHS and Bradfield spent the day painting and updating the facility.

The Makeover project is an annual United Way initiative that pairs volunteer teams from various organizations with United Way agencies that need updates and small renovations. In order to participate companies, organizations and groups must raise at least $500 and volunteer time to fix up and repair the agency in need.

"These organizations use all the incoming money to assist people and typically have no funding for tasks such as repairs and upgrades," said Judy Poling, a spokesperson for the United Way. This year ten local organizations participated. 

LMHS is very focused on supporting the communities we serve through countless health education efforts including health fairs, clinics and classes, community wellness days and partnerships with other community-minded organizations. Each year Lima Memorial gives back to the region approximately $25 million in community benefit.
