Caring for People

FirstHealth of the Carolinas has 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.

Our Funds

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

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.

Center for Well-Being

The health care landscape is constantly changing, thanks in part to a complex and demanding work environment. Burnout rates are higher than ever before, but FirstHealth is committed to providing resources to those who care for our community. Established in 2023, the FirstHealth Center for Well-Being (CWB) is an innovative benefit for all employees sponsored by the Foundation of FirstHealth. Learn More

Cancer Care

Ruth Lyman Watkins vision began with the Cancer CARE Fund. Established in 2000, the Cancer CARE Fund was the first of The Foundation of FirstHealth’s Community CARE (Clinical, Advocacy, Resources and Education) Funds.

Hospice & Palliative Care

Whether you or a loved one may be on a path of a serious illness or grief, FirstHealth Hospice & FirstHealth Palliative Care surrounds you with a comprehensive circle of expert care and support. Learn More

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.

Nursing and Allied Health Enrichment
