Kid with a Cause

When a fourth grader decided to set up a lemonade stand to raise money for cancer care, Sterling Regional MedCenter employees knew they had to help.

The girl's grandfather was receiving care at the Medcenter's David Walsh Cancer Center and she wanted to give back. She made $31.95 at her lemonade stand.

When Sterling Regional employees heard how she wanted to "change the world'', they pitched in and helped her raise $1,238.50 and counting.

In the right place

When Sterling Regional MedCenter recently received a donation of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) , they knew they had to pay it forward.

Life-saving AED devices are scarce in rural Colorado and the hospital knew they wanted to make sure it was in a place that it would do the most good for the community.

They gave it to the Logan County Heritage Center, a gathering place for people ages 55 and older to enjoy friendship, learn about issues and get help with nutrition.

Tough Enough to Wear Pink Mammograms:
What do you get when Sterling Regional MedCenter employees decide to "cowboy up'' to help with breast cancer?

Free mammograms for women who have little or no insurance. Annually, Sterling employees hold a fundraiser and rodeo. Last year, rodeo grandstands were a sea of pink as Sterling raised more than $10,000 raised to provide state-of-the-art mammograms.
