Hospital Foundation

Because wellness is more than healthcare.

Though adequate access to healthcare is extremely important in a local community, this is only one piece of a much larger puzzle. The St. James Hospital Wellness Foundation is a 501c3 charitable organization created as a platform to bring together healthcare providers, local government entities, social service providers, community health partners, industries, small businesses, schools and community members to address all aspects of wellness in our community. Together, we can truly improve the lives of our citizens.

The Foundation will develop, participate and support health and wellness services and programs for the communities we serve such as purchasing equipment and supplies, promoting, fundraising and raising awareness of health and wellness; designing and directing services, monitoring and analyzing community health and wellness data; facilitating and collaborating with stakeholders for health and wellness programing and lead projects to generate community health and wellness by addressing all social determinants of health.
