California Hospital Medical Center has established a foundation to provide financial support for capital projects, equipment, programs and services to the poor and underserved. The generosity and vision of our donors help insure excellence in patient care, medical education, and research.

Based on the belief that good health and well-being involve far more than just the absence of illness, the hospital also develops preventive health outreach and education programs designed to address key health issues in the community. The local community faces numerous challenges, including the highest population density and unemployment rate, combined with the lowest per capita income and literacy levels in the city. To "help families help themselves," the hospital has programs such as the Hope Street Family Center, which serves children and families through early childhood education, healthcare, mental health services, family literacy, substance abuse counseling, education, job training, and after-school programs.

The staff at the California Hospital Medical Center Foundation is available to assist you with information on several ways to contribute. California Hospital Medical Center Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation as provided under Section 501 c(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions to the CHMC Foundation are tax deductible in accordance with state and federal law.

We provide many opportunities for the community to invest in our healthcare facilities and services. Here are a few methods of making a contribution that may have specific economic or tax benefits to you:
