Washington Savings Bank recently made a $15,000 donation to the new Sarah Bush Lincoln Effingham Specialty Pavilion now under construction at 905 N. Maple St. Once construction is complete next fall, a plaque will be engraved and placed in the main lobby of the new facility recognizing the bank for its generosity.
"The new Effingham Specialty Pavilion will be a tremendous asset to our community for years to come,” said David Doedtman, President and CEO of Washington Savings Bank. “We’re proud to support Sarah Bush Lincoln in expanding access to quality specialty care right here in Effingham."
The SBL Effingham Specialty Pavilion will be a two-story, 39,946 square-foot outpatient medical office building, costing $28 million. A variety of specialty services will be located in the new Pavilion, including cardiac nuclear medicine and stress testing, echocardiology, pulmonary function testing and a cardiac rehabilitation gym. ENT services, including testing and hearing aid fitting, a drive-thru retail pharmacy, laboratory and space for physician specialists will also be housed there.
“We’re incredibly grateful for this generous donation from Washington Savings Bank,” said Sarah Bush Lincoln President and CEO Kim Uphoff. “The bank has a long history of giving back to the communities they serve, including supporting Sarah Bush Lincoln programs and services. We’re very thankful for their generosity.”
Donors making gifts of $5,000 or more to the Effingham Specialty Pavilion will have their names engraved on individual plaques in the new building. Donors making gifts of $1,000 or more will have names included on a group plaque.
