Ruby Valley Reruns
The Ruby Valley Hospital Auxiliary and the Ruby Valley Healthcare Foundation have done a fantastic job supporting the healthcare needs of our community with a variety of fundraising efforts.
For many years, purchases from and donations to Ruby Valley Reruns have funded the purchase of much needed medical equipment.
The Auxiliary's volunteers not only support the Medical Center but also the community through hours of organizing volumes of low cost, gently used clothing and household items.
You can drop off your donations at the back door of the store, which is located at 101 S Main St, Sheridan, MT 59749
It Takes a Village
RVMC has a consistent history of improving the quality and scope of healthcare in the Ruby Valley. In 2018, we opened the new medical center when our 1964 facility could no longer meet the needs of our community. Since then, we have expanded services and diagnostic equipment. This could not have been accomplished without the dedication and hard work of our staff, administrators, Board of Trustees, Ruby Valley Auxiliary, and the Ruby Valley Healthcare Foundation. We are also very grateful for the support of the community and look forward to continuing to improve and provide excellent healthcare.
