Stewart Memorial Hospital and Clinics Employees Donate $1,926 to Support Community Swim Lessons

Stewart Memorial Hospital and Clinics employees have come together to donate a total of $1,926 to support swim lessons for families in the community.
Each community, Lake City and Rockwell City, received $963 to help offset the cost of swim lessons for children. These funds will help make it easier for families to enroll, giving more kids the chance to learn an important life skill that builds confidence in and around water.
For many families, swim lessons can feel like an extra expense that gets put off. This support helps remove that barrier, making it possible for more children to participate, gain water safety skills, and feel more comfortable in and around pools and lakes.
“This is about giving kids the chance to feel safe and confident in the water,” said Linn Block, chief executive officer at Stewart Memorial Hospital and Clinics. “Our employees wanted to support something that directly impacts families in a meaningful, everyday way.”
The donation was made through the organization’s Casual for a Cause program, where employees contribute each week to support local needs across the region.
