13 columbushosp.org Enhancing local health care Your donations help support a healthy community When you give to the Columbus Community Hospital Foundation, you’re supporting high-quality health care for your loved ones and your community. “With the ever-changing health care world, we need to have the newest technology, best equipment and most excellent staff, and we need to be the hospital of choice,” said Cori Fullner, executive director of the foundation. “We constantly strive to provide our community with resources to help them live their best lives.” Those resources include the Columbus Fieldhouse, a $55 million project funded in part through generous foundation donors that opened in 2024. From trampolines to a full indoor soccer field, the facility offers activities for people of all ages to promote a healthier community. The next major project? An estimated 25,000-square-foot cancer center that will combine services in one location. “The foundation is committed to supporting that project significantly,” said Jerod Trouba, chairman of the foundation’s board of directors. Right now, the CCH Foundation is raising funds to purchase a new Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator that will provide an advanced level of radiation therapy for patients. “Countless people will be helped by it,” Fullner noted. Over the years, generous donations have helped fund many other projects — both large and small. Among them: 3D mammography equipment, a Parkinson’s wellness program and playground equipment for Wiggles & Giggles Therapy for Kids, to name just a few. This year, the foundation board will look to boost engagement with hospital staff and providers, building relationships that ultimately will help the foundation raise more funds to support the hospital’s mission. Trouba reflected on the sense of pride that comes with being good stewards of the community’s generous donations. “The hospital and the foundation are committed to making sure we use the funds in ways that best impact the community,” he said. The CCH Foundation welcomes many types of gifts For example, you can: ● Give an outright gift, such as a cash donation in memory of a loved one. ● Name the foundation in your will. ● Attend the Holing Out Fore Health Golf Outing. The foundation’s major fundraising event has earned more than $1 million for health care since 2003. Discover many more ways to support the CCH Foundation and local health care.
