Why Support the
Avita Health Foundation?
Patient revenue, alone, cannot provide for the ever-changing needs of our hospitals. As with every non-profit, Avita Health System directs its revenue back into the mission of the organization. But, the rapid pace of advances in technology, reductions in reimbursement covered by government programs (ie: Medicare and Medicaid) and increases in charity care must be met with private support to sustain a high level of care. Each year contributions range from a few dollars to thousands… and every gift is important. To that end, there are many ways of donating to Avita that can enhance your giving experience.
Annual Fund is the heart of our development efforts – benefitting programs and services of the hospitals and clinics within Avita Health System. Donors are encouraged to give annually to meet the day-to-day needs and building our base of support. For a copy of our 2012 Annual Community Campaign, click here.
Events help get the community involved within Avita Health System. Contributions of time, in-kind donations, sponsorships, entry fees all help us to fundraise for special needs of the Avita family.
Planned Giving – a giving circle of individuals who let us know of their intention for a bequest or planned gift.
