Harold & Marion Larmon

Harold and Marion Larmon have given their time, talent and treasure to both Community Hospital and Community Hospital Health Foundation for more than 30 years. Harold served as a founding member (1970-71) of the Community Hospital board when Community Hospital was built on the East side of McCook. Marion was an early Community Hospital Health Foundation board member, serving from 1990 through 1992 as Vice Chair. Together they have supported Community Hospital through their generous gifts to Community Hospital Health Foundation, reaching the Founder level of The Heritage Society, which recognizes donors whose commitment to the hospital will benefit future health care in our area.

Their years of service and gifts are only part of their commitment. As Marion said, “We get involved because we believe in supporting the community where we live”. Harold grew up in McCook and has been a resident throughout his life. He and Marion met at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. They were married in 1942 and made their home in McCook where Harold retired after many years as President of First National Bank. Their two children were born at St. Catherine’s Hospital and one of their three grandchildren was born at Community Hospital.

Marion remembers the early years of Community Hospital Health Foundation when the directors were framing the future of the Foundation’s existence. The Larmons and others were interested in building an endowment to ensure the mission of Community Hospital Health Foundation could be sustained. As they said, “That is why we started contributing, to give solidarity to the organization”.

On behalf of the many people we serve, I thank Harold and Marion Larmon for their vision and their commitment to bringing quality healthcare to our region.
