AREAS OF GIVING
Healthcare delivery is changing. Declining patient revenues, increase in underinsured and uninsured patients, and an extraordinary burdensome regulatory climate, creates a challenge to sustain a quality rural healthcare system.
The enhancement of community healthcare depends on the generosity of philanthropic contributions. If you choose to give to the William Newton Healthcare Foundation, you have complete control over where your money goes. These are just a few of the main areas of giving. Contact our office to learn more or make specific arrangements for your donation.
Endowment Giving
Funds provide a legacy for future generations. WNHF takes seriously its mission to assist in funding quality healthcare for the community now and in the future. Endowment funds provide a lasting imprint reflective of visionary giving and planning for the healthcare of tomorrow.
You can be a part of tomorrow's healthcare by collaborating with us to plan for the future. Endowed funds are permanently restricted funds invested to grow income. The proceeds are used in areas of greatest need. The original gifts remain invested for continued income. We welcome the opportunity to further meet the needs of the community through a strong endowment focused on local healthcare.
Building & Facility Fund
Funds contributed to the Building & Facility Fund support projects like the Med/Surg unit replacement in 2009, Rehab Services move and renovation, and the Family Birthing Center remodel. Currently, the building & facilities fund is benefiting our current master facilities plan, the Second Century Campaign.
Physician Recruitment
The expense associated with recruiting physicians to serve a rural community like ours are very high and it is a part of the Foundation's mission to support William Newton Hospital in maintaining access to excellent healthcare.
Scholarships
Educational funding to advance the skills and training of professionals including nursing, ancillary, allied, and medical staff. Scholarships are awarded from the Foundation with a work commitment from William Newton Hospital. This is a win-win for students and the William Newton Healthcare Foundation. This partnership aids in recruiting and retaining quality staff to provide the best in healthcare.

Forensic Nursing Services
The community is fortunate to have a strong multidisciplinary team committed to working with survivors of sexual assault. William Newton Hospital has a dedicated staff on call 24/7 to perform examinations and provide critical information to individuals. The dedicated team of nurses are certified in sexual assault exams and care of the survivor. The hospital provides a secure private environment devoted to this area.
The Foundation provides support for this necessary program through educational dollars and equipment. Prior to the formal program at William Newton Hospital, survivors of sexual assault were often taken out of the county for exams and care. Coordinating with Safe Homes, Law Enforcement, Advocates, and the County Attorney's office, a seamless transition can occur for the best outcome. Forensic evidence attained during an examination is vital in the successful prosecution of a case.
If you would like to know more, contact the Foundation office or email the Forensic Nursing Services Coordinator. The Forensic Nursing Services Coordinator is also available for community speaking engagements.
Contributions can be designated for the program by noting it on your gift.
