Why Should I Give to Jackson General Hospital?
- Jackson General Hospital is a community-owned organization that relies on the
generosity of the community to support programs, hospital improvements and
education. All money earned through services provided is reinvested into the
organization. We do not have stocks, and we don't pay shareholders. Our Board of
Trustees is made up of volunteers from the community. All of the money comes back
to the community in the form of health services.
- We want to make sure that our hospital stays up-to-date on medical advances and
technology. Reimbursement from insurance may cover the cost of providing
treatment, but doesn't cover the purchase of new equipment, charity care, facility
upgrades, etc.
- Access to full-service health care is very important to a community's quality of life.
Having a full range of health services is important to the region's economy as
governmental leaders seek to attract new businesses and, in turn, those employers
attract new employees.
- When you need medical care, you don't want to have to travel to Charleston or
Parkersburg. The work of the Foundation also helps ensure that when you
need health care, it will be available close to home at an affordable cost.
Make a donation now to ensure the health care you need will be there when you
need it.
Types of Gifts
Unrestricted
An unrestricted gift allows the Jackson General Hospital Foundation to oversee where and
how the funds are used. Unrestricted gifts are ultimately the responsibility of the Board of
Directors, who ensure that their use is allocated to the area most needed at Jackson
General.
Restricted
Donations can be made to a wide range of specialty services or programs at the hospital,
consistent with the donor's personal interests. Call Rhonda Davis, Director of Development
@ 304.373.1597 for more details of the available giving opportunities.
Scholarship
Gifts to support or endow scholarships go directly to deserving local students by
recognizing their achievements and helping meet the cost of tuition and fees. In addition,
they make an immediate difference by inspiring students through the trust you show in
their ability to reach their full potential.
Capital and Equipment
Capital gifts for building construction, equipment or renovation provide caregivers with
efficient facilities to deliver state-of-the-art care to their patients.
Tribute Gifts
What better way to honor someone than to make a gift in his or her name to Jackson
General Hospital Foundation. Your gift will bring honor to someone and serve a wonderful
purpose for our community.
Tribute Gifts can be made in memory or in honor of an individual in any amount and for
any specialty service or program. The Jackson General Hospital Foundation will notify the
appropriate party of the memorial or honorarium gift.
Naming Opportunities
The Jackson General Hospital Foundation encourages donors to consider having their
contributions recognized through a naming opportunity. Please contact us for more
information.
