Clarinda Regional Health Center’s foundation, Partners in Exceptional Care, is excited to host the 10th Annual Platinum Ball in support of CRHC’s mission, vision, and goals.
The Platinum Ball will be held in-person on Saturday, March 26, 2022, at Wibholm Hall located at 200 S 6th St, Clarinda, Iowa. The semi-casual to semi-formal event will consist of drinks and hors d’oeuvres starting at 6:00 p.m. with an elegant dinner and dessert served at 7:00 p.m. A live auction will follow. Dueling pianos by Fun Pianos! will provide a fun and entertaining evening for everyone until midnight.
Sponsorship packages and individual tickets are on sale now through March 18th! Go to one.bidpal.net/platinum2022 to order online or call Bailey Clubb at 712-542-6707.
Proceeds raised from this year’s event will go toward the purchase of new patient recliners in the Med/Surg area of the hospital. Jessica Kane, Med/Surg RN Manager explained the importance of obtaining new recliners, "New chairs would be a great addition to the care and comfort of our patients. It is important to have chairs that are not only comfortable but also supportive and provide protection against pressure and skin breakdown. Our current recliners were purchased to furnish the new hospital and are now over 10 years old. In those ten years, they have been a great addition to the patient room and provided a comfortable place for our patients to rest outside of the hospital bed. Our current chairs are becoming worn from use and cleaning with harsh chemicals with covid. We have also found that the current chairs are difficult for patients, especially those who are weak, to recline independently and footrests do not stay up on their own."
Silent auction items will be available for bidding at the event as well as online for those wishing to support the hospital but unable to attend. Other ways to support include donating an item for our silent or live auction or make a monetary donation towards the patient recliners. Please go to one.bidpal.net/platinum2022 to view our silent auction items and other giving options. Donations can also be mailed to Partners in Exceptional Care at 220 Essie Davison Dr., Clarinda, IA 51632
Please come celebrate with us and make a difference in our community by supporting this great cause.

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.”
