JCF Hospital Foundation Thanks R. Hambleton Electric and Pump 

April 13, 2026 – The John C. Fremont Hospital Foundation thanks R. Hambleton Electric and Pump for their donation of time and materials to repair the hospital's vending machine. Some buttons weren't functioning, causing selected items not to fall.

The vending machine is located in the hospital cafeteria and is frequently used. It is especially vital during nights and weekends when the cafeteria is closed, as it often serves as the only place for night shift staff, weekend staff, and visitors to get snacks or drinks.

Supporting staff and visitors is a top priority for the Hospital Foundation. Since 2023, the Foundation has managed the vending machine program, with board member Mari Bullis volunteering her time to purchase and stock snacks and beverages, focusing on stocking items requested by users and keeping prices low. The priority is not making money, but rather, providing a service.

Special thanks to R. Hambleton Electric and Pump. Their donation supports the Foundation’s mission of strengthening the rural communities of the John C. Fremont Healthcare District to promote health.
