CHI St. Anthony Hospital's gift shop brightens our patients' stays and benefits our local community and hospital. Our gift shop, Inspirations, is staffed by friendly volunteers who are happy to help you find the perfect gift for your loved one staying in the hospital. Whether here for a short- or a long-term stay, all patients benefit from receiving a caring gesture—whether it's a simple get-well card, a bouquet of beautiful flowers, or a stuffed teddy bear. Inspirations carries a wide variety of thoughtful tokens, greeting cards, spiritual and inspirational items, flowers, and toys that are sure to make your family member or friend's stay at the hospital all the warmer. All of our gift shop's profits go toward funding scholarships for students who are pursuing an education in health care and purchasing much-needed equipment and supplies for CHI St. Anthony Hospital.
