Hospital Hill Run Raises $1,500 for Prairie Lakes Caring Club House
On Saturday, June 7, 2025, Prairie Lakes Healthcare System hosted the 28th Annual Hospital Hill Run. This year’s event featured a 5K run, 5K walk, one-mile kids run, and a one-mile walk for all ages. Nearly 160 runners and walkers enjoyed a warm and sunny morning getting their exercise with friends, family, and neighbors, all while supporting a great cause.
Proceeds from the event benefited the Prairie Lakes Healthcare Foundation’s Caring Club House, resulting in a generous $1,500 donation to help support its ongoing mission.
