Latest CRHC News
Clarinda Regional Health Center (CRHC) is proud to announce the recent remodeling of our hospice suite and family room, made possible by the generosity of the Jimmy and Lora Lea Fulk family. This beautifully transformed space is a lasting tribute to the Fulks, reflecting their profound values of faith, family, and perseverance.
The renovation, funded by Joyce Fulk Whitney, Dale Fulk, Alice Fulk Wisner, and Nancy Fulk McKinnon in honor of their beloved parents, ensures that the hospice suite and family room are not only more functional but also provide a sanctuary for those in need of comfort and solace. This gift preserves the Fulks’ enduring motto: “Trust in the Lord. Wait Patiently. God is in control.”
Jimmy and Lora Lea Fulk were humble, hard-working individuals who cherished life on their farm and lived guided by unwavering faith. Their legacy of love, support, and steadfast trust in God continues to inspire those who knew them and now touches the lives of countless families who will benefit from this space.
“To the Fulk Family, your dedication to preserving your parents’ legacy is both inspiring and deeply appreciated,” said Chuck Nordyke, CRHC CEO. “This family room will stand as a testament to the values your parents held dear, serving as a place of hope, connection, and peace for generations to come.”
Clarinda Regional Health Center extends its heartfelt gratitude to the Fulk family for this incredible act of generosity. May this newly remodeled space carry forward the spirit of Jimmy and Lora Lea Fulk—a spirit of humility, strength, and trust in the Lord.
