Nachtigal says that establishing a simulation center had been on her wish list, but hospital administrators could never find the space in the budget to make it a reality.
The Baxter Regional Hospital Foundation conducted a fundraising campaign to help create the sim lab. Ed and Gayle Goodman served as the center’s naming donors.
Barney Larry, Baxter Regional’s Vice President of Business Development and the Executive Director of the Hospital Foundation, called the Goodmans “the lead drivers” on the sim lab campaign.
“Once we got their gift, we knew we could get the others,” he said.
Rooms in the sim lab are also named Rick and Pam Fairlamb; Drs. Grant Mathews and Rebecca Martin; Jim and Jackie Neff; and Barbara Wright.
