Who We Are

The Capital Health Foundation represents the Capital Health's mission and needs to the public through special events, mailings and personal outreach. We work to cultivate relationships with our employees, physicians, patients, School of Nursing alumni and the community that result in strengthened awareness of and financial support for Capital Health.
