Lafayette Regional Health Center

Lafayette Regional and Rotary share a common trait, service to others. While LRHC is committed to the care and improvement of human life, Rotary is committed to service above self. Over the past decade LRHC has served as host to the Lexington Rotary’s annual Taco Dinner, but due to Covid has been unable to do so in 2020 and 2021. The Taco Dinner is the major fund raiser for Rotary as well as putting a face on the organization. In order to help fund the numerous community services performed by Rotary LRHC has made a cash donation this year with hope of being able to again host the event in 2022. Thank you Rotarians for placing service above self.
