Castleview Hospital CEO Mark Holyoak visited a recent Castle Dale City Council meeting to present a $7,500 donation towards the city's upcoming all-abilities playground project. The donation is part of Castleview's mission of 'Making Communities Healthier' and follows previous contributions from community members like 8-year-old Axel Mead, who donated $6,000 last year.
Why it matters
The all-abilities playground will provide a space for children of all abilities to play together in Castle Dale, a community that has rallied around the project. Castleview Hospital's involvement highlights the importance of community partnerships and corporate social responsibility in bringing such inclusive public spaces to life.
The details
The all-abilities playground project has been gaining momentum, with the Emery County Commission approving a proposal to donate land for the project in January. The playground will be the second of its kind in the Castle Country region, following the opening of the Helper Express All-Abilities Playground in 2025.
