Riverview Health Care Foundation

The Riverview Health Care Foundation, Inc. is the charitable and fundraising arm of Riverview Hospital Association. It was established in 1984 for the purpose of seeking and holding funds to support Riverview Hospital Association and other nonprofit health care and social service organizations serving Wood County. The mission of the Foundation is simple: “Supporting Excellence in Wellness and Health Care.”

A certain amount of the Foundation’s invested earnings is granted to Riverview Hospital Association, as well as other community nonprofit agencies in support of wellness and health care initiatives. Since 1984, Riverview Hospital Association has received 172 grants from the Foundation totaling $3,558,455. Local nonprofit organizations have received 112 grants totaling $908,742 to benefit the community’s health. Thus, local health care has benefited from the contribution of nearly $4.5 million from Riverview Health Care Foundation since 1984.

The generosity of community members is the source of revenue that makes it possible for the Foundation to do its work. Total donations to the community's health and wellness total more than $2.5 million since the Foundation began.
