Be Aware of Potential Scam While healthcare reform has led to many changes, door-to-door fundraising is not among them, explains Coffey Health System Chief Executive Officer Dennis George. “We have received questions from the community regarding door-to-door visitors asking for donations to support the hospital. Coffey Health System and Coffey County Hospital are not involved in this fundraising activity, nor are we aware of a campaign on our behalf,” George states. “The community's trust is paramount in everything we do, so we hope to clarify that we are not involved in this situation in any way.”
