The History of Highway to Help

In 2015, Highway to Help, a 3-hour covered bridge tour ride, was created by Atrium Medical Center employee, Jimmy Bruggeman, to raise money for local families in need.

Since then, the ride has raised over $80,000 and has benefitted over 230 families in our local community.

In 2023, Ann Brock stepped forward to Chair this ride and we are grateful for her continued leadership in 2024!

Every holiday season, Atrium Medical Center employees work to identify patients and employees who need some extra holiday cheer. They shop for presents and then personally deliver these items to the families. 

Thank you for being a part of this special mission!
