“My husband, Phillip, was a Centra patient for many years. Centra has done a wonderful job with my family. Every person that we came into contact with touched us. They always made us feel welcome with open arms and a ready-to-serve spirit. Drs. Frantz, Valentine, Truitte and MacCallum were more than doctors, they were friends. Thank you for all the extra time you gave us together.“

-Rowena Mason

“I give because this is one way that a Centra employee can actually see how their donations work….nursing scholarships, Helping Hands, breast cancer screening, prostate cancer screening, community health education classes, community projects like the Community Access Network on Fifth Street, buying AED's and other equipment for our local volunteer rescue squads. The Centra Foundation – local people helping local people.”

-Paul Passink, AV Support Technician and Centra employee since 2002

“I gave, but I first received.  Centra and the communities we serve welcomed me and my family with open arms almost 7 years ago.  Giving back through the Centra Family Campaign is how we say thank you back to our community and pass on the blessings bestowed upon us.”  

- Michael Elliott, Centra Senior Vice President and Chief Transformation Officer

“My wife, Alex, and I give because we know Centra as a major community asset that is paramount to the health and vitality of our region. By supporting the Centra Foundation, we are investing in the health and well-being of the community.”

-Sackett Wood, Centra Board Member and CEO, Moore & Giles

“I give because there are so many members of our community who have difficulty accessing healthcare services because of lack of resources. I have seen and continue to see firsthand what this lack produces in terms of quality of life. By its support of the Free Clinic and the Community Access Network, Centra has shown its commitment to the belief that all should have access to healthcare. Gifts to the Centra Foundation help to ensure that when we are at our most vulnerable state, the healthcare safety net is alive and well.”

-Gus Petticolas Jr., DDS, Centra Foundation Board Member
