Caring for People Ways You You Can Help Make a Donation

A single, compelling mission

Caring for People

The Foundation of FirstHealth guides the philanthropy and community support to fulfill this mission - today and in the future.

The funds we raise have helped make FirstHealth of the Carolinas one of the finest health care systems in the nation. Now we’re working to continue FirstHealth’s history of innovation and compassionate, high-level care through our focus on six strategic areas.

By pursuing excellence in these areas, FirstHealth is building a 21st century model of health care that will ensure quality care for people in the Carolinas for decades to come.

Heart Services

Charitable giving through The Foundation of FirstHealth made all of these investments possible – and led directly to the development of the Reid Heart Center, the centerpiece of comprehensive heart and vascular care services at FirstHealth. By supporting our fight against heart disease, you make it possible for FirstHealth to continue to attract the best and brightest providers to deliver innovative, life-saving services to our community.

Cancer Services

The Cancer CARE Fund, established in 2000 by Ruth Lyman Watkins, was the first of The Foundation's community care funds. FirstHealth leads the battle against cancer in the mid-Carolinas with one of the highest-quality cancer programs in the state. We use the latest research, treatment, advanced technology, quality care and, most importantly, the dedication of our caring staff to fight all stages of cancer at our Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Physician Enrichment

Physicians are expected to increase their skills and knowledge continually, to epitomize service excellence, and to lead complex, multidisciplinary teams that do the same. Traditional medical training does not teach the leadership and personal management skills physicians need to stay on the cutting edge of today's demanding health care environment. The Foundation of FirstHealth invests in equipping our physicians to be leaders on the forefront of health care – while enhancing work-life balance, career satisfaction, clinical performance, and personal health and wellness.
