RAPID CITY, S.D. – maurices, a women’s apparel brand with 900+ stores across the U.S. and Canada, announced today that it is donating $250,000 to multiple rural community hospitals to support healthcare workers on the frontlines of the COVIDâ€19 pandemic. As part of this donation, Monument Health will receive a $5,000 donation to its COVID-19 Medical Response Fund.
“With maurices stores in more than 900 communities, we are proud to support our local
healthcare workers who are on the frontlines treating patients in rural hospitals. These individuals are truly hometown healthcare heroes,” said George Goldfarb, maurices President & CEO.
Goldfarb added, “This escalating crisis has transformed the way we think and work. Like other organizations, we are looking for ways we can support our associates, our customers, and our communities. Often rural hospitals don’t get the support they need, and by providing them with a monetary donation they will be able to purchase what they need most in this fight against COVIDâ€19. We have been in touch with many of the hospital administrators who have told us the timing for this donation is perfect.”
maurices said they selected Monument Health and other rural community hospitals in markets that are representative of the brand’s full chain.
