Salisbury, Md. (Tuesday, May 20, 2025) – As part of its Delivering Hope To Our Neighbors® outreach, Perdue Farms is investing in enhanced patient care at Ohio County Healthcare in Hartford, Kentucky. The Franklin P. and Arthur W. Perdue Foundation, the charitable giving partner of Perdue Farms, has awarded a $20,000 grant to fund the purchase of 20 state-of-the-art Stryker Prime Transport Chairs.

“The Ohio County Healthcare team extends its heartfelt appreciation to the Perdue Foundation for its commitment to supporting healthcare initiatives that directly impact the well-being of our community members. This generous gift is another demonstration of the long-standing successful partnership between Ohio County Healthcare and Perdue to care for and strengthen Ohio County,” said Shellie Shouse, CEO, at Ohio County Healthcare. “Perdue has a rich tradition of investing in the well-being of rural communities, and this gift continues that legacy.”

Ohio County Healthcare serves the region in western Kentucky where Perdue associates live and work as well as its farm partners and their families. The innovative and versatile wheelchairs feature numerous safety enhancements, but most importantly, they provide superior comfort during patient transport.

“At Perdue, we are proud to support Ohio County Healthcare and help them improve the patient experience,” said Kim Nechay, executive director of the Perdue Foundation. “Ohio County Healthcare is such a blessing to the community where our associates live and work.”
