Our Community. Our Future.
Since its founding in 1994, Augusta Health has existed to be the community’s first choice for care. Rooted in a tradition of personalized care with small-town hospitality, great pride is taken in Augusta’s rating as one of the top-50 hospitals in America by Healthgrades along with many other top ratings.
Augusta Health Foundation began its outreach in 2013 as the charitable arm of the health system. The Foundation secures philanthropic support to strengthen the health system and meet this community’s needs. New programs and services have been funded and continue to grow through generous gifts from the Augusta Health Foundation.
Leadership
Augusta Health Foundation team is committed to providing funding for services and programs that meet the needs to this community. The Foundation’s Board of Directors live and work in the valley and together they advance the vision and mission of the organization.
