Seneca Healthcare Foundation (SHF)’s Buy a Beam campaign continues to gain momentum, raising over $14,000 as of October 24th. This initiative has proven to be a powerful and affordable way for community members to leave a lasting mark—literally—on the new hospital build.
Each supporter who purchases a beam (column) is invited to a personal signing tour of the active construction site. During this visit, they receive the latest updates on the hospital’s progress and get to walk through the site to see the work firsthand. It’s a unique opportunity to connect with the project in a meaningful and tangible way.
After their signing, participants are sent a custom map showing the exact location of their beam, along with photos from their visit. Once construction is complete, a master map displaying all beam locations will be installed inside the new hospital, adjacent to the donor wall—ensuring every foundational support beam and its sponsor are recognized for generations to come.
“We’re currently in conversations with several more supporters who are excited to be part of this effort,” said Chelssa Outland, Executive Director of SHF. “The response has been incredible, and it’s clear that this program resonates with people.”
Due to the strong momentum and ongoing interest, the campaign will remain open for at least another month and is officially extended through November.
With this extension and the season of giving fast approaching, SHF encourages community members to consider a beam as a meaningful holiday gift or tribute. Contributions made through Buy a Beam not only help build the hospital’s physical foundation but also strengthen the foundation of community health for years to come. Every gift—large or small—brings the new facility one step closer to reality and ensures access to quality care for the Lake Almanor Basin and beyond.
