Gifts to the NGHS Foundation enhance and improve the health of the community in numerous ways through our current campaign.
In line with the system’s strategic initiatives, we’re hard at work meeting the healthcare needs of our growing community. Whether we’re helping enhance current or future locations, bringing support to innovative programs like heart and vascular or neurosciences, or ensuring our community has the emergency services it requires – inside and outside of the hospital, our projects go beyond bricks and mortar.
The Foundation’s Growing for the Greater Good projects focus is on the people – our patients, our visitors and employees, our physicians and our community. We are Growing the Greater Good with you — improving the health of our community in all we do.
