About
The Foundation
| Financial support from the
community has always been an important part of the success of the
Hospital. The original funding used to establish The Washington Hospital
was provided by compassionate individuals, and that legacy continues
today. All fundraising activities are conducted by The Washington
Hospital Foundation. As the fundraising arm of the Hospital, its job is
to generate, manage and distribute charitable funds for the Hospital.
Charitable gifts are used to create, continue, expand, and improve new
and existing programs, services, facilities and equipment. All of the money raised by the Foundation benefits The
Washington Hospital. Programs such as Cancer Treatment, Cardiac Care,
Children’s Therapy Center, Diabetes Education and Management Program,
Hospice Care, Teen Outreach, and Women’s
Health Services, among many others, benefit the community through
dollars raised by the Foundation. In the past several years, funds have
been raised to purchase state-of-the art equipment, assist in building
the “E” Wing, the Wilfred R. Cameron Wellness Center and Donnell House,
create the “Main Street” rehabilitation unit, develop the Ruth York
Morgan Health
Education Learning Place and
renovate the hospital’s waiting rooms and patient care units. Every
dollar raised is used to help create a better environment that
accelerates the healing process.

Why Does the Hospital
Need Charitable Support?
| Without the support of the community, The Washington Hospital would have a
difficult time providing the quality services that it offers. Cutbacks in payments for patient care at the state and federal level and the
proliferation of the managed care system have had a direct effect
on the hospital’s financial status. If it were not for charitable giving, many
pieces of new, lifesaving equipment could not be purchased. Without donor
support we could not upgrade our facilities or build the new ones that are vital
to the care we offer. Without charitable gifts, we could not educate and
train our staff to be among the best in the field. Your support makes a
great difference in the lives of our patients. |
