“I was humbled, proud, and excited to accept this award on behalf of our employees, physicians, and volunteers. They give so much of themselves each day to our patients, families, and our greater community. It is because of their hard work, dedication, and commitment to caring that we received this award,” says Tim McKevett, Beloit Health System President and CEO.

In addition to the “Live United” Award, Beloit Health System was also one of only five organizations in the Stateline area to achieve the United Way’s “Cornerstone Status” by raising over $100,000.
