Our Mission

TriState Health Foundation is devoted to helping TriState Health place people and their health as the first priority.

Why support a community-owned hospital?

TriState Health began with a dream 69 years ago. A group of community-minded citizens and the local War Mothers spearheaded the campaign to build a new hospital in honor of those who died in the wars in memory of their sacrifice. In one year, they raised $490,616, which was added to a federal grant of $295,000. In this way, the community worked together to provide residents with a non-profit, communityowned hospital. TriState Health, previously known as Tri-State Memorial Hospital, opened its doors on July 17, 1955, providing quality, local healthcare access for our community.

Today, philanthropy continues to play an essential role at TriState. TriState Health has been busy. In 2023, we expanded on the dream to build a community hospital by adding our new P1FCU Inpatient and Dietary wing and also updating our Imaging Center with a new MRI and two

CT Scanners. Now, we need to continue sustaining that dream by updating and expanding our Surgery Center. Together, we will follow in our grandparents’ footsteps, creating a lasting legacy that will impact the health of future generations.

As a non-profit, communitybased organization, TriState Health does not receive tax revenues from our community. Therefore, charitable contributions play a critical role in project funding.

Contributions to TriState Health through the TriState Health Foundation provide an opportunity for our community to actively determine the quality of their own healthcare in our area. These contributions enable the Foundation to support the hospital by providing new equipment, facilities, community programs, and services that might not otherwise be funded.

A contribution is your chance to make a difference in the health of our community, both today and tomorrow. It is your opportunity to demonstrate the value you place on a strong, local, independent healthcare facility and your commitment to ensure its future. “Today’s Investment in Tomorrow’s Health” remains our focus.
