The Purpose of the Foundation
The purpose of the Medcen Community Health Foundation is to seek and
administer charitable gifts supporting the mission of The Medical Center of
Central Georgia and its affiliated programs such as Hospice of Central
Georgia, The Children's Hospital, the Sylvia Bond Nursing Society, and
Carlyle Place. Additionally, Medcen supports community-based programs
working to enhance the health status of Central and South Georgia, including
Community Health Works and the Central Georgia Cancer Coalition. Through the
Foundation, donors help acquire health-related equipment, improve
facilities, and develop or expand health programs for our community. The
Foundation combines individual gift support to maximize value. It screens
and helps select worthy projects within the hospital, affiliated programs,
and the community enabling donated dollars to have the greatest impact.
Benefactors have the assurance that the performance of funded projects is
evaluated by Medcen to assure that contributions are applied to programs
with the best possible outcomes.
Generation
to Generation
Currently, Medcen Community Health Foundation is engaged in Generation to
Generation, a $17 million major campaign. Gifts to the Campaign will support
3 sub-campaigns: $7 million to renovate and add ICU beds; $5 million for
various capital needs within The Children's Hospital; and $5 million for the
development and construction of an inpatient hospice facility. A successful
major campaign generates financial resources which make a significant
qualitative difference. All who have a stake in our community’s healthcare
will find their participation welcome and highly valued. For more campaign
information, call 478-633-1555 or email
