Our 2023 Garden Party is planned for Tuesday, August 15 at the Springville Country Club. Doors will open at 5 p.m.

Our honorees are the late Douglas Baker and the Bertrand Chaffee Hospital Women’s Association.

Mr. Baker was the founder of Mercy Flight and “revolutionized medical transportation service in Western New York.” He was extremely instrumental in bringing Mercy Flight and Mercy EMS services to the Springville community and for the construction of the hangar and base on the Bertrand Chaffee campus.

The Women’s Association has been in existence for over 70 years and holds many fundraising activities to support to the BCH Foundation. This dedicated group of women has raised over $300,000 since 1995, supporting clinical equipment purchases and building improvements at Bertrand Chaffee Hospital and the Jennie B. Richmond Nursing Home.

Our Foundation board, hospital board, employees and supporters are thrilled to be able to honor these two individuals for their service to our facility and the medical care they have provided to our community.


The Bertrand Chaffee Hospital Foundation commits funds from this and all its events towards projects that benefit Bertrand Chaffee Hospital and the Jennie B. Richmond Nursing Home. This year, funds raised through our Garden Party will be directed toward the purchase of a LUCAS Chest Compression Device for the BCH Emergency Department. The LUCAS device is a mechanical chest compression device that helps lifesaving teams around the world deliver high-quality, guidelines-consistent chest compressions to sudden cardiac arrest patients.

Entertainment for the evening will be provided by the Springville Jazz Orchestra, conducted by Bill Cocca.

Sponsorships for our events are gratefully accepted – businesses and individuals are welcome to show their support through one of the options on our 2023 Garden Party Sponsorship Form (Adobe PDF), or through a custom sponsorship. Contact Kelly Campbell at (716) 592-2871 ext. 1485 for details.
