  • Health and Wellness Support Initiatives

    The Cheshire Health Foundation raises funds to support the health and wellness mission of Cheshire Medical Center. For Fiscal Year 2022, Medical Center senior leaders and Trustees collaborated with Foundation Trustees to determine strategic needs for the year. The purchase of three state-of-the-art Ultrasound machines was the main funding priority and charitable donations funded the purchase. The Foundation also received gifts for a wide variety of specialized equipment to support inpatient and outpatient Physical Therapy, Women's Health and the Birthing Pavilion, computers for an inpatient care unit, and other specific needs. Scholarship funds increased through donations to the Cindi Coughlin Professional Nursing Scholarship Fund, the Ben Tatro Memorial Healthcare Scholarship Fund, Farnum Education Fund, and the Helen Brueckner Baute, RN, Nursing Excellence Fund. Other funds raised supported Cheshire's local Dartmouth Cancer Center through equipment and program needs and assisting patients financially who have difficulty meeting their daily living expenses. In addition, charitable support received helped Cheshire commence renovations on the West Campus building for the new Family Medicine Residency Program, and will fund support for future capital projects. Bequests received benefited nursing scholarships, Cardiac Rehabilitation, Pediatrics, and future strategic capital purchases. Planned gifts over the years have created specific purpose funds and permanently restricted endowment funds that support patient care, including patient financial assistance, and nursing scholarships and professional development.
