Providence Community Health Foundation Funds

The Providence Cancer Center combines the most advanced technology and skilled physicians with the support of a full-service medical center. The outpatient clinic includes radiation therapists, registered dietitians, case managers, spiritual care chaplains, library and education center.

HeartCare Fund
The Providence HeartCare Program provides care for patients with heart and vascular problems. Diagnostic procedures such as echocardiography, cardiac and peripheral vascular angiography, vascular ultrasound, and nuclear medicine studies are performed, as well as interventional procedures for patients with peripheral vascular disease. Funds donated to this program are used to pay for staff training and education, and to purchase technology such as Cardiac PACS.
Hospice/Home Care Fund
Providence Hospice is a compassionate care program for families and patients facing terminal or life-threatening illness, with a focus on comfort and quality of life versus aggressive diagnostic treatment and therapies. Home Health provides skilled in-home services to patients of all ages as a transition following hospitalization and as a cost-effective alternative to inpatient care. Honor memorial donations are a meaningful way to pay tribute to friends and family members, or to thank care providers.

Providence has plans to purchase a Dilon Camera, the latest in technology for women with a family history of breast cancer.

Spine Program Fund
The Spine Program at Providence Medford Medical Center unites a group of physicians, nurses, physical therapists and pain specialists to provide complete care for people suffering from back and neck disorders. The program provides a free evaluation to determine the patient's needs, and referral to physical therapy, pain management, or surgery if necessary. Donations to the fund are used for education programs to enhance the skills of nurses dedicated to caring for spine patients.
Surgical Services Fund
Providence Surgical Services consists of eight operating rooms with state-of-the-art equipment, including image-guided technology. Surgical specialties at Providence include urology, lithotripsy, ob/gyn, spine, cardiac, orthopedic, neurology, general/vascular, cancer, plastic, thoracic, trauma, ear, nose and throat. Recent fundraising efforts brought robotic surgery technology to our region with the purchase of the daVinci Surgical System, the first in our region. Gifts to Surgical Services will continue to be used to purchase the latest in surgical technology for Providence Medford Medical Center.
Unrestricted Fund - Helping to Meet the Hospital's Area of Greatest Need
Throughout the year the hospital has a variety of capital, technology and charitable needs that are not included in the annual budget. Under the guidance of the Providence Community Health Foundation Board of Trustees, over the years unrestricted gifts have been allocated to help fund special capital projects such as the Simulation Lab and equipment, telemetry monitors and ENT surgical equipment, and to renovate family waiting areas and remodel the main lobby of the Medical Center.
