RUTLAND, VT – On Tuesday, May 14, Rutland Regional Medical Center received a generous donation from Oliver Subaru of Rutland in the amount of $31,000, which was generated from the 2023 Subaru Share the Love^® event. This donation was in support of the new Infusion Services Center at the hospital.

Jose Oliver, owner, and Curtis VanEpps, Managing Partner of Oliver Subaru of Rutland, along with representatives of Subaru of New England, visited Rutland Regional to present the check in support of the Infusing Hope, Expanding Access campaign for the Infusion Center.

“The Subaru Share the Love campaign is a wonderful opportunity for us to support our region”, said Oliver. “We are proud of our community hospital, and as community members we rely on the critical care and vital programs and services that RRMC provides.”

RRMC President and CEO, Judi Fox was joined by Jonathan Reynolds, Vice President of Clinical Services, Lindsey Munger, Director of Oncology & Diagnostic Imaging Nursing Services, Jillian Nichols, Manager DI Nursing/Infusions/Vascular Access and Stephanie Harte, Oncology & Infusion Services Prior Authorization Supervisor, as well as Traci Moore, Senior Director of Development & Community Relations, in accepting the donation.

“We are so grateful for our partnership with Oliver Subaru of Rutland.
