NHHS Foundation receives $10K endowment grant

NEWPORT — In October Newport Hospital and Health Services Foundation received a surprise $10,000 grant from the Bobby Elizabeth Endowment Fund at Innovia Foundation. Grant funds are to be used for general operating support as recommended by the donor advisor for the fund.

“This came at the perfect time,” said marketing and foundation director Jenny Smith.

“Recently the foundation board voted to support the new 3D Mammography project with $75,000 from our general fund, and this grant will support our pledge.”
