Priorities
The Foundation’s top priority is to facilitate a joy-filled relationship between donors and Goshen Health, while participating in the mission of improving the health of the communities we serve.
Our commitment to our community
Goshen Health Foundation helps meet the healthcare needs of our community through its support of Goshen Hospital. Each year, the generosity of people like you provides funding that directly impacts the health and wellness of our families, neighbors and friends throughout Elkhart, Kosciusko and St. Joseph Counties.
Funding secured by the Foundation helps continue the innovative care and services our community has come to trust and rely on for more than 100 years. Established in 2013, Goshen Health Foundation is dedicated to revitalizing and enhancing our community by building partnerships, supporting new programs, and working together to create a healthier future.
Through our work on the Goshen Health Foundation Board, we're helping to ensure Goshen Health is able to serve patients in our community with the same leading edge technology we have all depended on for more than 100 years.
