Donor Spotlight
Audrey Petersen
Mrs. Audrey Petersen is a wonderful example of success and selflessness. Her visionary gift, providing Smart Room technology for NCH, has transformed healthcare delivery here. Seamless, integrated connectivity from the bedside to the medical record, including monitoring equipment, IV pumps, and other digital inputs, now gives patients and care-givers a safer experience.
Dr. Chris Papadopoulos
"You have to know the past to appreciate the present" Dr. Chris Papadopoulos says. In addition to the gift of his rare and extensive stethoscope collection, Dr. Papadopoulos made a gift to NCH in his estate plans.
Honor Your Caregiver

Consider making a donation in honor of your physician, nurse, volunteer or other NCH caregiver.
Recognizing that special individual through a donation is a great way to say “Thank You.”
HURRICANE IAN RELIEF FUNDS
NCH Healthcare System is focusing on helping not only our patients and community, but our more than 150 staff members who have reported severe damage to their home and property as a result of Hurricane Ian.
As we actively work to provide employee assistance, two funds have been set up to direct contributions.
The Partners in Caring Fund benefits employees in need and the NCH Emergency Response Fund will help the healthcare system cover additional operational costs and capital needs/repairs incurred from Hurricane Ian. Your generosity will help us as we continue the long road to recovery. Thank you for your help.
