Seneca Healthcare Foundation introduces new initiative in the Lake Almanor Community Hospital build project

Seneca Healthcare Foundation, proud supporter of the new Lake Almanor Community Hospital, welcomed its very first Buy a Beam donors to the construction site this week.

The Buy a Beam campaign invites supporters to sponsor a beam in the new hospital structure, granting them a private tour of the build site and the opportunity to sign their name, family name, or business name directly onto a beam.

This unique initiative allows community members, visitors or businesses to leave a lasting legacy — literally — within the walls of our future hospital.

With hard hats on and permanent markers in hand, Judy and Neal Cline, early supporters, were treated to a private, behind-the-scenes tour of the build site, culminating in a powerful and emotional moment: signing their names on the very beams that will become part of the hospital’s permanent structure.

Each beam, available for a donation of $500, is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to be physically and symbolically embedded into this transformational project. Each donation is 100 percent tax deductible. It’s more than a donation —I t’s an everlasting testament.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” said Chelssa Outland, Executive Director of SHF. “These supporters aren’t just helping build a hospital — they’re becoming part of its story.”

This fundraiser offers individuals, families, and businesses a chance to be memorialized in the heart of a facility that will care for thousands for generations to come. Supporters receive an exclusive invite to tour the build site and personalize their beam — forever linking their name to healing, hope, and community.
