ESTEVAN — The proposed $2 million donation for an MRI unit at St. Joseph's Hospital would have been the largest donation that Elaine Walkom has made for the community, but it wouldn't have been the first.

Walkom and her family, which operates Hank's Maintenance oilfield company, has a history of generosity. Earlier this year, she donated $10,000 to the Estevan Humane Society, the second straight year she has donated that amount. In previous years, she contributed $5,000.

Hank's Maintenance purchased the outside kennels for the humane society.

"I'm crazy about dogs," said Walkom, who has volunteered for the EHS as a dog walker in the past.

The non-profit organization has its needs, she said, and she will probably donate more in the future.

Also in the community, her family has donated to the new Estevan Regional Nursing Home committee, the Estevan EMS, the St. Joseph's Hospital Foundation, Sun Country Health Region, Habitat for Humanity, St. Peter's Lutheran Church and more. 

The organizations that they have supported are those that have meant something to her family over the years, and they want to give back to the community because they have been there for Hank's Maintenance.

"It's a good thing to give back, because without their help we wouldn't have had the success," said Walkom.
