Mike Ross presents generous donation to St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation

BUCKHANNON, WV:  Mike Ross, St. Joseph’s Foundation board member and President of Mike Ross, Inc. and Ross and Wharton Gas Company, recently presented a generous donation to the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation.  

His donation helped launch the 2021 Campaign which is focused on Women’s Health.  The Campaign will first raise funds for the Center for Women’s Health to obtain a portable Ultrasound Unit which will enable physicians to immediately meet patients’ needs while being seen in the clinic.  It can be used for checks of fetal heart tones, biopsy assessments and other monitoring, providing convenience for both the patient and the physicians.

 “We are truly grateful for Mr. Ross’s continued commitment to our Foundation and the hospital,” said Skip Gjolberg, President of St. Joseph’s Hospital.  “His support helps us to ensure that we provide the best in healthcare to our community.”

St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation is a non-profit organization with 501c3 status. For more information, please call Lisa Wharton at 304-473-6819 or email at Lisa.Wharton1@wvumedicine.org.
