Financial and Charitable Planning Web GuideThe Centra Health Foundation has made a wide range of contributions toward the health care needs of our region. Through your help, the Foundation has sponsored medical screenings, offered health education programs on a variety of topics, funded indigent care and helped needy students pursue health careers.
Donations to the Annual Fund enhance and enrich the services, programs, and facilities of Lynchburg General Hospital and Virginia Baptist Hospital in order to assist the Centra Health system in meeting and solving community health problems.
We collaborate with physicians in our community to offer frank and informative presentations on various health issues including breast and prostate cancer, heart attack and stroke, women's health, orthopedics, and mental health. We also help sponsor programs for childhood immunizations, teenage parents, and children's bicycle helmet safety.
The Centra Health Foundation has raised $11.5 million to support two major initiatives of Centra Health, a not-for-profit organization, with the FOR NOW…FOR THE FUTURE: Centra Health Prepares for the 21st Century Campaign. Construction is underway on a 108-bed, multi-specialty East Tower at Lynchburg General Hospital and to build a state-of-the-art Regional Cancer Center on property adjacent to Lynchburg General Hospital. These projects require major capital investment and the support of the community to be successful.
