FCHC Foundation

Support the Circle of Care

The FCHC Foundation turns community generosity into life-saving equipment, patient support, and a stronger Fulton County Health Center — for our families, friends, and neighbors.
Our Purpose

Completing the Circle of Care

The Fulton County Health Center Foundation exists to serve and support our community by providing the charitable resources that help Fulton County Health Center complete the circle of care.

We believe everyone deserves access to exceptional healthcare right here at home. The Foundation was created to support FCHC in its mission to promote and provide for the continued health and wellness of Fulton County — funding the equipment, programs, and facility improvements that go beyond a standard operating budget.

Fulton County Health Center follows a long-range strategic vision known as The 100 Year Plan — a commitment to keep advanced care close to home for generations to come. The Foundation is how our community helps bring that plan to life, one gift at a time. Every contribution, large or small, is an investment in a healthier future for the people we love.

If FCHC has ever cared for you, your family, your friends, or your neighbors, we invite you to give back through your time, your talent, or your treasure. Thank you for being part of the circle of care.

Faithful Stewardship

We honor every gift with careful, transparent stewardship of our community's generosity.

Tomorrow's Technology

We help FCHC keep pace with the equipment and innovations that advance patient care.

Community Health

We raise funds for the services and programs our community needs most.

Current Initiative

The Heart & Vascular Center

When it comes to heart care, time is muscle. Thanks to our community’s generosity, FCHC’s Heart & Vascular Center renovations are complete — and FCHC now operates two state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization labs. Patients can receive life-saving heart and vascular care close to home, without transfer to a larger hospital. Nearly every procedure can now be performed locally, with the exception of open-heart surgery.

Why We Do What We Do

Your support is more than a gift

It’s someone’s second chance.

The Heart & Vascular Center isn’t an abstraction — it’s measured in lives. Dave Storrer’s story is a powerful example of what your donations make possible. Watch how care close to home changed everything for him and his family.

Every gift to the FCHC Foundation helps write another story like Dave’s.
