Trinity Health Foundation Announces Intention to Establish Healthcare Careers Scholarship

Thanks to a generous $25,000 donation from Denise and Lynn Billadeau, Trinity Health
Foundation is excited to announce the intention to establish a Healthcare Careers Scholarship
Endowment. Once this endowment reaches $50,000, it will support students from the region pursuing
healthcare careers.

The Healthcare Careers Scholarship Endowment will also help address the critical shortage of healthcare
professionals in North Dakota, particularly in rural areas. By investing in the education and development
of local students, this fund helps strengthen the future healthcare workforce and ensures that
communities across the region continue to receive the care they need.

“We are deeply grateful to Denise and Lynn Billadeau for their remarkable generosity,” said Dusty
Zimmerman, Trinity Health Foundation Director. “Their support will open doors for students in our
communities and help ensure that families across the region continue to receive exceptional care close
to home.”

This meaningful donation reflects the shared commitment of both Trinity Health Foundation and the
Billadeaus to investing in the future of healthcare in our region. This initiative will help prepare the next
generation of healthcare professionals who will sustain exceptional care across the region.

Kidney Dialysis Unit Recliner Initiative Creates Critical Comfort

For many patients undergoing kidney dialysis, the hours spent in treatment are often long and uncomfortable, particularly when seated for an extended period of time. Through an initiative developed by Trinity Health Foundation and with the generous help of its donors, that reality will change.

By raising $49,500, Trinity Health Foundation will be able to purchase 11 heated recliners for the Kidney Dialysis Unit, providing not only essential care to those in need, but also critical comfort during long treatment sessions. These recliners are not just a luxury, they are a necessity. In addition to providing critical comfort, they also help alleviate anxiety symptoms that arise during treatment, making treatment a more soothing environment while patients receive the care they need.

Kidney dialysis patients often experience symptoms of fatigue, making simple tasks such as walking to and from their cars particularly challenging. To help alleviate some of those symptoms, Trinity Health has enhanced patient accessibility by previously relocating the Kidney Dialysis Unit to a more convenient location on the first floor of the Medical Office Building.

This move reflects Trinity Health’s ongoing commitment to improving patient care. This dedication is further demonstrated through the purchase of these new recliners, which would not be possible without Trinity Health Foundation and their incredible donors.
