CCHS Memorial Brick Sale

DAYTON – Columbia County Health System is offering Memorial Bricks for sale as part of a fundraiser for the Dayton/Waitsburg Community Health Foundation Fund, said Steve Stahl CCHS Human Resources Director.

The bricks will be used to face two pillars at the new main entrance of the hospital. Additional bricks will be used to build a wall at the Emergency Room entrance, he said.

The cost for each 8x8 inch brick is $150. One brick can handle 3 lines of 18 characters each, with the addition of one graphic, or 6 lines, of 18 characters a line, with no graphic. The bricks will be offered through July. The goal is to have the pillars finished by the end of August.

Stahl said the bricks will not be placed on the ground due to wear and tear, and he said the bricks are guaranteed for free replacement if they are damaged.

The goal of the Dayton/Waitsburg Community Health Foundation is to help grow the Hutchens Family Endowment Fund for the enhancement of the Columbia County Health System, according to Bob Hutchens, Chairman of the Hospital District Board of Commissioners.

The endowment was set up to help with facility and equipment improvements, and to provide education support for employees who wish to improve their skills through education, Hutchens said.

Stahl is creating brochures about the bricks and they will be placed in various locations throughout the area, he said.

Applications for bricks can be obtained from the executive assistant in the CCHS Administration Building, from the Columbia Family Clinic, or from the CCHS Human Resources Department at Dayton General Hospital, all located at 1012 South Third Street, in Dayton. They are also available at Waitsburg Clinic, at 235 Main Street, in Waitsburg.
