In 2005, Brooks donated $500,000 to Integris Canadian Valley Region hospital in Yukon, OK. Brooks claimed that the donation was supposed to go for a building extension that was supposed to be named after his later mother, who expired from cancer 10 year ago.

The hospital did launch a $27 million expansion and renovation project last year and but says that there has been a big misunderstanding. Brooks on the other hand says the extension wing has not been built and he wants his money back.

A hospital spokesperson however, says that Integris is, “optimistic that it will come to a swift and amicable end.” However, one council member for the Yukon city has not been so reticent, towards Garth, “Yukon has done a lot to help promote Garth Brooks over the years, and this is what he does to return the favor, sue our hospital over a misunderstanding. Maybe Yukon should consider removing his name from the street signs and the water tower. This is very unfortunate for the hospital, City of Yukon and its citizens.”

Sources close to Brooks says he is sad over the issue which is very personal.
