The Carson Valley Health Foundation raised more than $200,000 for the expansion of the Gardnerville hospital it supports.

"This milestone in our hospital expansion highlights the tremendous impact of our community's generosity," said Carson Valley Health CEO Jeff Prater. "Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Carson Valley Health Foundation and the generous support of our community, we are continuing in our ability to make significant improvements to our facilities in which we are profoundly grateful."

The new hospital expansion is tentatively scheduled for the end of this month. The foundation thanked two donors specifically.

“Through the generosity of our donors, we have successfully raised critical funds to directly support the purchases of state-of-the-art medical technology to better serve our growing community,” according to the foundation. “We are especially honored to recognize the transformative contributions of Cristi Cristich-Milazzo and John Milazzo, whose generous donations totaling $73,000 have been vital to the success of this project.”

The Milazzo’s support funded the purchase of ER observation beds and contributed to the purchase of smart beds in the Inpatient and ICU departments.

“The funds raised by the Foundation represent more than just financial support; they are a commitment to ensuring that every patient who enters Carson Valley Health receives the highest standard of care,” foundation officials said. “The new spaces in the expansion will be equipped with the latest medical technology and will provide an environment designed for comfort and healing.
