Doesn’t the government fund healthcare needs?

While government funding covers many core healthcare services, it can’t meet every need. That’s where we come in.

The Central Northeast Health Foundation helps fill the gaps by funding state-of-the-art equipment and innovative health programs that otherwise may be delayed or unavailable.

Your support ensures that quality healthcare is available in your community—when and where it’s needed most.


How does the Foundation support recruitment and retention of healthcare professionals?

Rural communities face unique challenges in attracting and keeping healthcare professionals. One of the biggest factors? Access to modern equipment, tools, and work environments.

By funding essential upgrades and technologies, our donors help:

  • Attract top talent
  • Support skill development
  • Improve patient care
  • Strengthen rural healthcare delivery

Can I direct my donation to a specific area or program?

Absolutely. If you’d like to support a specific department, program, or service that’s meaningful to you, we’ll work with you to ensure your donation goes where it matters most.
