What is Carolinas HealthCare Foundation?

Carolinas HealthCare Foundation serves as the primary point of contact for individual, foundation and corporate charitable support of Carolinas HealthCare System (a self-supporting, public, not-for-profit healthcare provider.) The Foundation is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

Why should I contribute to Carolinas HealthCare Foundation?

Financial contributions help provide the resources necessary to maintain the highest level of excellence and patient support in our medical programs and services. Your individual acts of generosity help improve the quality of life for people in our region today and into the future.

Philanthropic gifts have always been important to Carolinas HealthCare System. Since its beginnings in 1939, gracious donors have significantly contributed to the growth and success of CHS programs and services.

How will my contribution be used?

Many donors elect to designate a hospital service or program as the recipient of their gift – to a fund that supports ovarian cancer research, or to cardiovascular rehabilitation. A donor may also choose to make an unrestricted gift to the Foundation. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, these gifts are designated for areas where needs are most critical and urgent.

research
Advances in medical research have greatly improved healthcare over the years. Doctors can now treat many diseases that used to be fatal. Procedures that used to require long hospital stays can now often be performed quickly, with patients going home the same day.

Carolinas HealthCare System is home to some of the most advanced medical research in the region. That means people in our community have access to the best treatments close to home, without having to travel far away and leaving friends and family behind. And generous donors are fueling much of the research, as well as helping educate future generations of doctors, nurses and other medical providers.

Carolinas Medical Center is an Academic Medical Center which provides the best patient care available. But its physicians and researchers also work to advance medical knowledge and improve the care provided to the communities we serve. That research may be pre-clinical, taking place in laboratories; clinical, utilizing real patient settings; or community based looking at large populations. Research at Carolinas HealthCare spans many areas, including pediatric and adult cancer, neuromuscular disorders, obstetrics and gynecology, back pain, organ transplants and rehabilitation.

Philanthropy also improves patient care by improving the education of healthcare providers. For instance, donations support the purchase of simulation babies at the Carolinas College of Health Sciences, which allows future neonatal intensive care nurses to react to a variety of scenarios before working with real patients. Donations also fund scholarships for emergency medicine, pediatric education and nursing.

You can support vital research and education in the Charlotte area. Here's how:
