About Candler County Hospital Foundation
The Candler County Hospital Foundation is a tax exempt charitable organization which was established in 1995. It is governed by a 15 member volunteer board comprised of representatives from the community as well as from the Hospital Authority. The Foundation’s mission is to provide support for the needed projects and services of the hospital. Through the efforts of the Foundation, vital improvements in the facility or equipment are made possible which might otherwise have to be delayed or even eliminated. Through your tax deductible donations the Foundation helps to make it possible to continue to provide healthcare to the people of our area.
The following are some examples of projects or purchases which have been made possible through gifts made to and through the Candler County Hospital Foundation.
