RMC’s Endowment Fund Brings New Technology to Family Practice

March 5, 2026 in Family Practice, Fund Development, News

Through the Regional Medical Center (RMC) Endowment Fund, the Butterfly iQ+ Ultrasound is now available for family practice providers to use at all Regional Family Health (RFH) clinics. 

This portable, pocket-sized ultrasound allows providers to perform immediate diagnostic imaging at the point of care. For patients like Erica Kortenkamp, who has received care in both the RFH Winthrop and Manchester locations, the addition of this device has transformed her healthcare experience. 

“Having the Butterfly ultrasound available at my appointments made it a lot more accessible,” shared Kortenkamp. “It was very convenient. It was just a little iPad with a cord so I didn’t have to go anywhere special for it. I was able to see my baby just in the regular room where they did my appointment.” 

The purchase of this equipment is a direct result of the generosity of RMC’s donors. The RMC Endowment Fund serves as a bridge between community support and medical innovation, ensuring that rural clinics remain at the forefront of modern medicine. 

“We are incredibly grateful to the donors who recognize the importance of the Endowment Fund,” shared Valerie Lindsay, Volunteer Services and Fund Development Manager. “Every gift, regardless of the size, helps us put life-saving tools into the hands of our providers. Erica’s story is a beautiful example of how donor support creates a tangible, positive impact in the lives of our patients.” 

Contributions to the RMC Endowment Fund ensure that future medical advancements remain accessible to all patients in the region. To learn more about the Endowment Fund or to make a tax-deductible donation, please visit regmedctr.org/endowment or call Valerie Lindsay at 563-927-7534.
