Community Health Programs

We Are The Heart
of a Healthy Community

At Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation, our mission extends far beyond the hospital walls. While we continue to fund essential medical equipment and infrastructure, our impact also reaches the broader spectrum of community health.

Each year, we help transform lives by investing in an expanding range of community-based health programs that address the evolving needs of Tri-Cities residents. From mental health initiatives to rehabilitation support and outreach for vulnerable populations, these vital services are made possible through the generosity of our donors, sponsors, and partners.

Because of you, we can fund critical, donor-supported programs that would not otherwise exist—programs that bring compassionate care and wellness to where it’s needed most.

Together, we are champions of community wellness.

Make a gift today, or connect with us to learn how your support brings health care to life—far beyond the hospital.
