Donation will fund new blanket warmers to enhance patient comfort
MONTROSE, Colo. (Aug. 14, 2025) – The Montrose Regional Health (MRH) Foundation has presented River Valley Family Health Centers with a $4,000 donation to purchase new blanket warmers for patients. The gift was made possible through the Foundation’s San Juan Fund.
“We’re proud to support River Valley Family Health Centers with this $4,000 gift for new blanket warmers,” said Kelly Anderson, executive director of the MRH Foundation. “This small but meaningful investment will help provide warmth and comfort to patients during their visits. The Foundation exists to support local health care organizations, especially in times of need.”
Blanket warmers (also known as warming cabinets) are used to gently heat blankets and linens for use during and after medical procedures. Providing patients with warm blankets can help prevent hypothermia, particularly for those undergoing surgery or treatment involving anesthesia.
The MRH Foundation invites community members to invest in local health care by donating, volunteering, sponsoring events or becoming a corporate partner. To learn more, visit mrhfoundation.org.
