The purpose of the Union County Health Care Foundation is to raise funds through charitable donations and fundraising events that will be applied to the healthcare needs of the citizens of Union County. 100% of all funds raised will be applied to fulfill the mission of the Foundation.
To fulfill this purpose, the Foundation borrowed money and purchased 30% ownership in American HomePatient in 1993. The loan has been repaid and the income from this business pays ALL administrative costs of the Foundation. Thus, every penny contributed to the Foundation is applied to healthcare needs.
You can make a difference in the lives of the citizens of Union County and the residents from the surrounding communities by contributing to the Union County Health Care Foundation. Our current goal is to help in the funding of a Picture, Archiving, and Communication System, also known as PACS, for Wallace Thomson Hospital. This technology will allow the Radiology Department to eliminate traditional x-ray film processing, resulting in reduced cost, test times, and quicker access to both images and reports by primary care physicians. Your direct contributions or participation in any of our fundraising projects is essential to the success of this project.
