Midship Pipeline announced last week a donation of $21,000 to seven county hospitals located along the pipeline’s route. Mercy Hospital Kingfisher will be a recipient of one of the $3,000 donations.The gift will enable hospitals to purchase personal protective equipment (PPE), cleaning supplies and other materials to help battle the COVID-19 outbreak.

“We are grateful for Midship’s timely and important donation to these rural hospitals as many healthcare workers are on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis,” said Oklahoma House Speaker Charles McCall. “The gift will go a long way to help purchase critical equipment to help these hospitals fight this pandemic. This donation will help save lives.”

Midship, in conjunction with its parent company, Cheniere Energy also donated to INTEGRIS Canadian Valley Hospital (Canadian County), Grady Memorial Hospital (Grady County), Duncan Regional Hospital (Stephens County), Mercy Hospital Ardmore (Carter County), Mercy Hospital Tishomingo (Johnston County) and AllianceHealth Durant (Bryan County).

This donation is part of Cheniere Energy’s $1 million commitment to global COVID-19 relief efforts.

“We know these county hospitals are critical to the communities they serve, particularly in this unprecedented crisis,” said Matt Barr, director of public affairs at Midship Pipeline Company. “Midship is committed to supporting rural Oklahoma, and we commend these healthcare professionals for their dedication.”

Midship has now gifted over $637,000 to community organizations and programs across the eight counties it traverses, supporting first responders, agriculture education, and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) initiatives.
