Local Health Care Enhancement Funded: O'Dell's Generous Gift Sparks Community-Wide Effort
The Sheridan Memorial Hospital Foundation is thrilled with the progress of their Growing for You - Behavioral Health & Emergency Medicine Campaign. This fundraising initiative, aimed at enhancing mental health care and emergency services accessibility and quality, has gained significant momentum due to the support of the community and a generous matching gift challenge from O’Dell Construction.
The O’Dell family initiated a $25,000 gift mid-May, launching a $45,000 matching gift challenge for the Growing for You Campaign. This challenge inspired numerous local donors, culminating in the surpassing of the goal and securing essential funding by June 30, 2025.
The campaign's goal is to open the new Behavioral Health Unit in late 2026, bringing vital improvements and expanded access to mental health care and emergency services for patients and families across the region. The unlocked $45,000 O’Dell Match is expected to impact numerous lives for years to come.
Cody Sinclair, the Chief Development Officer, expressed pride in the community's commitment to supporting each other. He noted that the O’Dell family's passion for medical excellence in the local community inspired a significant wave of support. A total of 48 donors across Sheridan County and beyond contributed over a 45-day period, demonstrating the shared spirit of Wyoming, where people help each other whether they are minutes or miles apart.
The Sheridan Memorial Hospital Foundation looks forward to continuing the momentum towards the successful completion of the Growing for You Campaign. They express gratitude to O'Dell Construction and the O'Dell family for their exceptional leadership.
