Thank you to the West Plains Schools Zizzer Volleyball team for hosting a Pink Out game and donating the proceeds from the game to the Ozarks Healthcare Foundation in support of the Ozarks Healthcare Cancer Treatment Center! 🩷

We’re grateful to the players, coaches, students, and fans who came together to support those facing cancer in our community. Your generosity means so much to our patients and their families.

Thank you, Lady Zizzers, for making a difference on and off the court!

The West Plains Zizzer Softball Team recently hosted its annual Strike Out Cancer game, bringing athletes, families and community members together to honor those whose lives have been impacted by cancer. Through t-shirt sales and generous community donations, $600 was donated to the Ozarks Healthcare Cancer Treatment Center. 💗

The evening honored cancer warriors, celebrated survivors, supported those still fighting and remembered those we’ve lost.

Thank you to everyone who purchased a shirt, donated, attended the game or helped make this meaningful evening possible. Your support makes a difference!

We will miss our dear friend, Bill. We are grateful for his legacy and service. 💚

Ozarks Healthcare mourns the passing of longtime Board of Directors member Bill Wood, whose years of dedicated service helped shape the future of healthcare in our region.

Bill served on the Ozarks Healthcare Board, including as Chairman, providing thoughtful leadership through significant periods of growth and change. He was there for many important milestones - from the Mountain View Clinic groundbreaking to the opening of Ozarks Healthcare’s largest expansion - always bringing a deep commitment to our community and the importance of local healthcare.

His leadership, friendship and years of service will be deeply missed and remain an important part of the Ozarks Healthcare story. 💚

A Celebration of Life for Bill will be held Friday, October 9, from 4–8 p.m. at the West Plains Country Club.

What a night! 🤠💚

The 13th annual Blue Jean Ball was one to remember, and we’re so grateful to everyone who helped make it possible — from our generous sponsors and donors to our volunteers, vendors, staff and everyone who joined us at Silver Springs Ranch.

But the best part of this event is knowing what it makes possible beyond the dance floor. Every dollar raised helps the Ozarks Healthcare Foundation provide patient assistance, support critical healthcare services and help bring advanced equipment and resources to our community.

Thank you for showing up, giving back and helping make a difference in the lives of the patients and families we serve.

We couldn’t do it without you!
