York (Maine) Hospital has raised more than $6.2 million — 97% of the $6.4 million goal for its “Leading with Heart” campaign — following a grant from the New York City-based Hearst Foundations, according to a July 28 report from Foster’s Daily Democrat.
The campaign supports the expansion and modernization of the hospital’s Petrovich Peterson Cardiac Catheterization Lab. To complete the final phase, the hospital launched a dollar-for-dollar matching challenge of up to $100,000. Hospital leaders said matching the Hearst grant demonstrates community support and could help secure future funding, according to the report.
The campaign also includes $2.5 million in federal funding secured by state Sens. Susan Collins, and Angus King. The upgraded lab will enhance the hospital’s ability to deliver advanced, noninvasive cardiac care.
