Jackson County Health Foundation
Founded in 1981, the Jackson County Health Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports Jackson County Regional Health Center and select community health initiatives. Through philanthropic support—donations, bequests, grants, and events like our annual golf outing—the Foundation helps fund essential services, programs, equipment, and scholarships that improve community health and well-being.
Guided by a local board of directors, we aim to sustain a strong healthcare system and meet the evolving health needs of our community.
