When Blair Vining was diagnosed with stage four cancer, he and his wife Melissa were faced with a devastating reality: the wait to see an oncologist would outlast Blair’s life expectancy. Refusing to accept this as an inevitability, Blair and Melissa dreamed of a solution – a charity hospital dedicated to providing care for those who couldn’t afford to wait.
The Southland Charity Hospital is the result of extraordinary community spirit. Southlanders rallied together, contributing time, resources, and expertise to transform this dream into a reality. From local businesses donating land and equipment to individuals giving their time and money, the generosity has been nothing short of inspiring.
Over $5 million in donations has helped fund the construction of the hospital, equip it with vital medical equipment, and ensure its doors are open to those in need. The Southland Charity Hospital is a testament to the power of collaboration and kindness. Every donation, whether monetary, goods, or time, has made a difference.
Serving as the hospital’s financial partner, we provided strategic advice and expertise, with team members volunteering to oversee its financial aspects. Our goal was to ensure that Melissa and the community could focus on what mattered most – bringing Blair’s vision of accessible healthcare to life.
