March 29, 2018 – The Gila Regional Medical Center Foundation received a $1,000 donation today from Western Bank.

The donation was made to support the Hidalgo Cancer Fund established at Gila Regional Medical Center. "The donation from Western Bank will be used to support our Cancer Center this year for the Hospital," stated Gila Regional Medical Center Foundation President Alfred Sedillo.

"We are a community bank, giving back to the communities we serve is an important part of our mission.
