Nate Penny Rooftop Garden Memorial
Many in our community remember Nate Penny as a beloved, athletic, and hardworking friend who loved the outdoors. In his memory, Nate’s parents, Bill and Marlene Penny, made a generous gift to the LMH Health Foundation to support the renovation of the hospital’s rooftop garden, an outdoor space that Nate occasionally visited during his treatment.
The rooftop garden is a large, open space where patients, employees and visitors can step outside to enjoy a break in the sunshine and fresh air. Help us raise an additional $100,000 to complete the rooftop garden project!

Why I Give
Your gifts at work
Breast
pumps and crib for Mother/Baby
Donor funds provided new breast pumps and a crib for the Mother/Baby department. The breast pumps are vital for helping new moms and babies get a good start on breastfeeding.
Insulin for diabetes patients in need
Annual gifts from the River City Cosmopolitan Club have helped provide insulin and other medications for diabetes patients in need through the Help & Healing Fund.
Continuing education for nurse navigators
The Employee Education Fund helped two oncology nurse navigators attend an educational conference, which will help the LMH Health Cancer Center build their navigator program. Additionally, donor funds cover the salary for the oncology nurse navigator.
Childbirth education for Spanish speakers
LMH Health’s Community Outreach and Engagement team now offers online childbirth education in Spanish for our community members. The foundation provides funds for those who cannot afford the cost of the class.
