The Gift of Giving

No gift is too small when it’s from the heart. You can support Southcoast with a donation of any size and make a difference in people’s lives.

Southcoast has many smaller projects on its “wish list” that would improve patient care and comfort. Your $5 contribution could help buy teddy bears to calm frightened children in the Tobey Emergency Department. A $10 gift could take the chill off a cold night by helping us buy a blanket warmer for the Intensive Care Unit. With enough $25 donations, Southcoast could replace the worn cots used by parents resting at their children’s bedsides.

Philanthropic support helps Southcoast’s hospitals stay at the forefront of medicine. It also enables the staff to provide “little things” that make the facilities feel less like hospitals and more like home.
