WHITE SALMON — The Skyline Health Foundation has received a $20,000 donation to its Breast Health Program, made possible through a collaboration between the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines and First Interstate Bank.
This contribution will help expand access to vital breast health services, including mammograms, diagnostic imaging, and advanced equipment, for the Columbia River Gorge. The funding aligns with Skyline Health’s commitment to providing compassionate, high-quality healthcare to rural communities.
“Thanks to the partnership between the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines and First Interstate Bank, we can continue to support and empower women and men in our community through early detection and preventive care,” said Elizabeth Vaivoda, Skyline Health Foundation executive director. “This donation is a testament to the power of collaboration and the importance of investing in rural healthcare.”
The Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines works with its member institutions, such as First Interstate Bank, to strengthen communities through financial partnerships that make a real impact.
“First Interstate Bank is honored to collaborate with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines to support the incredible work being done by the Skyline Health Foundation,” said Karalee Holtmann, First Interstate Bank Bingen retail manager. “Access to quality breast health services is essential, and we are proud to contribute to this meaningful cause.”
