The $1 million donation is part of the clinic’s $2.4 million capital campaign that will build a 12-unit housing facility that will provide free lodging to ease the stress for cancer patients and their families.

The new housing facility will be named Harold and Carmen Poulsen Legacy after the donor and her late husband.

“How do you even begin to describe something like this, when someone blows you out of the water with their generosity?” Vicki Newmiller, CEO of the Great Falls Clinic, told the Great Falls Tribune. “We had a vision and to have someone so important in the Great Falls Clinic community come forward to see that same vision — we’re so thrilled.”
