Foundation
Evans Memorial Foundation is a non-profit organization that supports the programs and services provided by EMH. It operates independently from the hospital and has its own focus and goals. While having its own Board, it does share some members with the EMH Hospital Board of Directors.

โโThe Evans Memorial Hospital Foundation raises funds and builds community awareness to maintain and improve patient care quality. Foundation funds support new construction, medical equipment purchases, facility renovations, and marketing initiatives.
โ
By supporting your local community hospital foundation, you make a direct impact on healthcare in your own backyard. Your donations help ensure Evans Memorial Hospital can continue providing exceptional care to your neighbors, friends, and family members. Hospital foundations manage donations and endowments, organize capital campaigns, host special events, and coordinate all fundraising activities.

When you give to the EMH Foundation, you're investing in the health and wellbeing of your entire community!
