Cancer Care: Lexington Medical Center fights cancer alongside its patients. The Foundation supports this care philosophy with cancer programs that help patients focus on their treatment and survivorship. Cardiac Care: One in three deaths in South Carolina is related to cardiovascular disease. For this reason, the Foundation works to help heart patients achieve a full recovery through patient discharge kits, cardiac rehabilitation services and smoking-cessation. Mother-Baby Care: The Foundation works to ensure the highest quality health services and resources are available to new mothers and their babies. These initiatives are delivered through our We Care Internal Grants as well as the Women and Children Fund. Patient Care: The Foundation supports Lexington Medical Center's mission by enhancing hospital services with impactful patient and community programs. These initiatives affect every area of patient care in Lexington Medical Center's network of care and are often born from innovative minds and caring hearts of our employees. Community Care: At Lexington Medical Center, community members are treated like family. They find support when they most need it through Foundation programs and services - from nursing and allied health scholarships to caregiver training through the Helping U Grow Strong (HUGS) Ambassador program. Employee Care: For more than 20 years, the Lexington Medical Center Foundation's Emergency Care Fund has supported employees facing financial hardships due to an unexpected crisis event in their lives. We Care Internal Grants: Annually, the Foundation awards over $500,000 in We Care Internal Grants to departments and facilities throughout the hospital's network. These programs come from the hearts and minds of our dedicated employees and enable the Foundation to enhance patient care in unique and meaningful ways. Community Outreach Grants: On behalf of Lexington Medical Center, the Foundation provides over $1 million in support to 501(C)3 non-profits that address community healthcare needs, adhere to the core mission of the hospital, bridge the healthcare gaps within our service area, and reflect projects that are deemed to be in the best interest of the hospital. In addition to these programs, the Foundation provides hope through collaborations with Lexington Medical Center employees and nonprofit partners in the Midlands.
