Rebecca “Becky” A. Morrison, has devoted a lifetime of service toward helping others in our community. Mrs. Morrison is a charter member of both the Salina Regional Health Center and the Salina Regional Health Foundation Boards of Trustees. This was a natural extension of her 32 years of service on the Asbury-Salina Regional Medical Center Board. In 1998, Mrs. Morrison was named the first-ever trustee emeritus at Salina Regional Health Center. Mrs. Morrison has also been very active with her volunteer work through Meals on Wheels, First Presbyterian Church, and numerous other charitable concerns. The Salina Regional Health Foundation is pleased to recognize Mrs. Morrison for her years of dedication to helping others, by making this home-away-from-home in her honor.

As a young wife and mother in 1977, Diana Mason Lee experienced the heartache of raising two young children and caring for her husband who was dying of leukemia. She had to locate day care for her children so she could take her husband for treatment 50 miles away. Later her husband was hospitalized and she needed to stay with him. Falling asleep in hospital hallways or lounge areas, she had to ask strangers for help. While experiencing these hardships, Lee promised herself that someday she would do what she could to assist others facing similar circumstances. Her vow led to the birth of the Rebecca A. Morrison House: A Heartland Hospitality Home in 1993. The Morrison House was the second Heartland Hospitality Home established. The first home, The Purdue House, is located in Wichita.
