The first set of stuffed critters donated to Boundary Community Hospital through the generosity of the Fry Healthcare Foundation's Veryl Lindsay Memorial Fund has arrived in the Emergency Department and Extended Care Facility.

“Thank you to everyone who donated in memory of Veryl Lindsay,” said Ms. Julian. “Donations like this, which bring comfort to those in need, show how much our community cares for our friends and neighbors. We appreciate the help from Sugar Plum Floral in finding these lovable stuffed critters for the hospital.”

Established by the Lindsay family through the Fry Healthcare Foundation in memory of Veryl Lindsay, who worked as a Registered Nurse at Boundary Community Hospital from 1954 to 1986, the donated funds are used to purchase stuffed animals for Emergency Department patients or family members, children hospitalized for care, or dementia patients who need comfort. If you would like to donate in memory Veryl Lindsay, send your donation to Fry Healthcare Foundation, 6640 Kaniksu Street, Bonners Ferry, Idaho 83805.
