DJWH Foundation History
The Dr. John Warner Hospital Foundation was founded and incorporated in 1998. The 12-member Board of Directors manages the business and affairs of the corporation. The Foundation is responsible for coordinating fundraising efforts and administering charitable gifts and donations given to the Foundation.
Foundation Purpose
The purpose of the DJWH Foundation is to foster, promote, support, develop, encourage, maintain, receive, and accept funds for the construction, building, remodeling, support, administration, staff, and any other legitimate purpose or function of supporting the DJWH facility.
Our Mission
Committed to building a healthier future for the Dr. John Warner Hospital and the people we serve.
Legacy
It is in giving that you help hearts beat longer, help children grow stronger. Leave a legacy unlike any other, a legacy of hope and compassion, a legacy that will live on through the Dr. John Warner Hospital Foundation.
For there are few organizations where your financial gift can be used to directly aid your friends, family, and neighbors, where every contribution is vital to providing the best possible healthcare right here in your hometown.
Your contribution, no matter its size, is the helping hand you extend to your neighbor down the street who is undergoing cardiac rehabilitation through DJWH.
It is the gift you give to your sister whose breast cancer was caught early because she had a routine mammogram in the DJWH Radiology Suite.
It is the compassion you extend to the young family at your church in need of preventative care that they can secure through the Rural Health Center.
In those moments when your heart is touched, you close your eyes and only wish you could do something-anything to help another, know that you can through the Dr. John Warner Hospital Foundation.
You Decide
Your gift of compassion and caring can be given as an unrestricted donation in which the DJWH Foundation Board and hospital staff work together to determine the best use.
Foundation
Or your contribution can be earmarked for one of the following hospital services: Cardiac Rehabilitation, Emergency Department, Laboratory, Medical Surgical Unit, Radiology, Respiratory/Cardiopulmonary Department, Rural Health Center, or Surgery and any other area of your choice.
