Bank of Tioga donates $5K for emergency room work

North Dakota-based The Bank of Tioga donated $5,000 to St. Luke’s Medical Center in Crosby, N.D., for a new emergency room entrance door. 

The door is expected to help St. Luke’s provide better access for patients and residents. A portion of the funds will support the insurance needs of at-risk families.

“St. Luke’s Medical Center is essential to the health and well-being of our community,” said Bank of Tioga President Savanna Hendrickson. “We are honored to be able to give back to them in this way and help area residents have continued access to essential services, including the 24-hour emergency department.”

“We are so thankful that Bank of Tioga’s donation has enabled St. Luke’s to move forward with a new door for our ER entrance,” added St. Luke’s Medical Center CEO Jody Nelson. “A new glass and ADA handicap accessible door will greatly improve the aesthetics, but most importantly the access for our patients and residents. We are excited for this much needed improvement.”
