Mission
The mission of
Beaufort County Hospital Foundation is to enhance the health and
wellness of the community through its financial support of Hospital
services and programs that enrich the care and treatment of
patients.
Giving Opportunities
Lights of Love Annual Fund
The primary role of the Foundation is to raise funds to benefit
hospital projects and
to foster community support of these efforts. The Lights of Love
annual gift fund
is central to the Foundation’s charitable purpose. Contributions to
Lights of Love
are designed to honor/memorialize an individual or celebrate an
important life
event. The honored parties are notified of the contributions and a
symbolic light
is placed on the Lights of Love tree on the hospital front lawn
during the holiday
season. Donations for this annual fund may be made any time of year
and are used
to support departments and services throughout Beaufort County
Hospital.
Wellness Center Scholarship Fund
The Lifestyles Medical Fitness Center at Beaufort County
Hospital is an integrative
facility that combines a full-service fitness center with certified
cardiopulmonary
rehabilitation services. Donations made to the center are awarded as
scholarships to
members of our community who find it medically necessary to
participate in wellness
programs but may not have the resources to take advantage of these
opportunities.
Nursing and Allied Health Scholarship
Program
As stated in our vision statement, Beaufort County Hospital
recognizes its role
in the development of the future health care workforce. Each year
three to five
scholarships are awarded to students who are currently enrolled in a
nursing or
allied health curriculum at one of our local colleges. The
scholarship is $1,000 per
semester for a total of $4,000 per student. This partnership program
helps support
local education while also investing in the development of our
hospital’s future
health care staff.
Modernization and Expansion Fund
Beaufort County Hospital’s
current modernization and expansion project will
substantially change the configuration and orientation of the
hospital as well as
dramatically alter and improve the exterior image. The Beaufort
County Hospital
Foundation is committed to raising funds for enhancements to the main
lobby, chapel and surgical waiting area that will provide comfort
and convenience for patients and visitors.
