About Us

Ashland Community Hospital Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. Founded in 1977, the foundation was originally established to provide a way for community members to support the work of Ashland Community Hospital. Over the past 44 years, the generosity of our donors has had an incredible impact on the variety and quality of services available at the hospital.

In 2021, the Board of Directors approved the expansion of its mission to include support of community health and wellness initiatives.

Equity Statement

At Ashland Community Hospital Foundation we believe that every person should have the opportunity to attain their full health potential. We recognize that systemic barriers and the social determinants of health prevent individuals from doing so.

Our actionable goals include:

•  Expanding board membership to reflect the diverse communities we support.
• Educating board and staff members about diversity, equity and inclusion, health equity, and the social determinants of health through learning sessions.
• Engaging community members to learn what changes would be the most impactful and empower them to live their full health potential.
• Ensuring our grantmaking reflects our vision of advancing equitable approaches to community health and wellness.
• Reviewing our scholarship application and selection process to ensure it is equitable for all eligible applicants.

As we learn and grow our intention is to be thoughtful and deliberate in our journey.
