The Southeast Alabama Medical Center Foundation, Inc. was created as a public charity in May 2006 to help advance the mission of Southeast Alabama Medical Center, the regions' premier community-owned, non-for-profit 420-bed healthcare referral center.

As a 501 (c) (3) public charity (not-for-profit organization), there are no owners or share holders and the trustees serve without financial compensation. The Foundation's annual operating costs are underwritten by the Medical Center so that 100 percent of all donated gifts benefit the designated hospital program or health initiative. When donations are made during a special event, the net revenue earned by the enterprise is reinvested to fund enhancements to the physical plant, purchase state of the art equipment and fun the overall health care mission which includes care for those who are unable to pay for their medical care and services. 

Currently governed by a 33-member voluntary Board of Trustees, the Foundation exists to cultivate relationships and establish philanthropic partnerships among individuals, groups and businesses interested in delivering quality medical care to the communities of Southeast Alabama, Northwest Florida and Southwest Georgia. The doors to the Foundation officially opened in March 2007 as part of the hospital's 50th anniversary celebration.

The Foundation works to strengthen relationships between the Medical Center and the community while helping fund both present and future equipment, technology and program needs.

Through a spirit of generosity, Foundation partners - physicians, employees, volunteers, former patients and friends of Southeast Alabama Medical Center and its affiliates - can take an active humanitarian role in helping close the need gaps - and the dream gaps - for a healthier way of life in the communities we serve. 

As part of Southeast Alabama Medical Center's humanitarian role, all annual operating expenses are underwritten by the Medical Center so 100 percent of your gift will benefit the healthcare service or community wellness initiative you specify.  Your tax deductible gift can include gifts of cash, stock, property and life insurance.  Gifts can be designated for specific or general purpose use.
