WATERTOWN – Samaritan Medical Center announced Tuesday that a recent campaign sponsored by Walmart and Sam’s Club stores in the tri-county area raised $107,857 to benefit Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
The campaign to support local children in need, which ran from June 10 to July 7, was the result of generous support from the community and Walmart and Sam’s Club stores in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties, according to a statement from Samaritan.
The Children’s Miracle Network of Northern New York provides donations to support pediatric equipment and projects at Samaritan. In addition, they provide financial assistance to families with a child in medical crisis and help pay for medical expenses such as travel, co-payments, and equipment not covered by insurance.
“This campaign is a testament to the generosity of our community, and these funds will help countless children who are struggling with health issues,” said Angie VanWormer, director of the Children’s Miracle Network at Samaritan Medical Center, in Samaritan’s statement. “Every penny raised stays local to ensure the best health care is available and accessible to children in the North Country. Thank you to the community for supporting this successful campaign.”
Samaritan would like to thank Walmart and Sam’s Club for their partnership and commitment to the community, as it is only through their support that Samaritan can continue to provide vital assistance to children in the region.
