(KNSI) – The CentraCare Foundation recently hosted its annual La Gratitude celebrations, recognizing donors and community leaders whose contributions support health care across the region.
Last week’s St. Cloud ceremony featured tributes to Dr. Charles Ehlen, Dorothy Gorecki and Don Weeres, along with the Foundation’s 2026 award recipients.
Dr. Phil Boyle received the Caduceus Award. BCI Construction, Inc. was named Corporate Partner of the Year. Dr. Chip Martin-Chaffee was honored with the Service to the Foundation Award, and Gary and Jane Marsden received the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Holly Gulden, vice president of CentraCare Foundation, said donor support is essential to the health system’s work. “The generosity of our donors helps power CentraCare’s mission and strengthen the communities we serve,” Gulden said. “Their passion, advocacy and commitment inspire others and make an extraordinary impact across our health system. We are deeply grateful for their partnership and unwavering support.”
CentraCare Foundation officials say philanthropy helps advance patient care, innovation and community health initiatives across Minnesota.
