          The gift was announced at a press conference Thursday morning. For a decade, Portneuf Medical Center has been a generous supporter of 蜜桃视频 State, donating more than $20 million and providing sponsorships, scholarships, program and academic support university-wide.  In addition to supporting the Family Medicine Residency and the Kasiska Division of Health Sciences, PMC has supported the College of Arts and Letters New Year鈥檚 Eve Gala, the Bengal Athletic Boosters, Athletics, the ISU Rodeo team and more.

            鈥淭his gift highlights the financial support PMC offers, but this partnership is so much more.

Everyone benefits 鈥� ISU, PMC, the students and the patients we serve.鈥�

            鈥淭his collaboration over the years has shown its commitment not only to our community in Pocatello, but in rural 蜜桃视频 as well,鈥� he said.
