Jefferson Healthcare Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to enhance the excellence of our region’s medical services through charitable contributions and community involvement. We want to ensure that more patients can find the care they need right here at home, for preventive care or when ill and and vulnerable. People heal best with their families, loved ones, and support networks nearby.

Our purpose is to raise money through donations, grants, special events, capital campaigns, and planned giving – in support of the projects, programs, and people of our local hospital and clinics. As a small, rural, "critical access" hospital system, Jefferson Healthcare has limited funds for capital needs and other special expenses. Generous giving to the Foundation directly addresses these needs.

In recent years, donors to Jefferson Healthcare Foundation
  • empowered the purchase of a 3-D mammography machine and a nuclear camera
  • reinvigorated the Cardiac Rehabilitation program
  • sponsored a new infant warmer for the Family Birth Center
  • raised funds for echocardiography and charity care for heart patients at our 2021 Well Hearts Luncheon 
  • raised funds to replace the advanced life-saving defibrillators throughout the medical campus, and
  • provided financial aid for childcare costs for Jefferson Healthcare employees

In 2025 we completed our biggest fundraising project to date, raising $2.5 million dollars for a Linear Accelerator for radiation oncology. As of February 2026, this new service line is well underway, meeting patients and their families right here at home for life-saving treatment. No more need to travel long distances for critical care.
