Philanthropic resources play a vital role in helping hospitals to keep pace with medical and technological advances. With contributed support, Takoma Regional Hospital can continue providing top quality service as well as cost-effective diagnostic and treatment programs to area residents.

In order to help Takoma Regional Hospital maintain a favorable cost position and keep patient charges at the lowest level possible, the hospital must fund new projects and equipment with donated capital from the community. Studies have shown that for each $1.00 in donated capital, the hospital saves approximately $4.00 in debt service, thus reducing long-term costs to the community.

At Takoma, a significant number of our patients are supported by Medicare and TennCare. In most instances, these programs do not cover the cost of providing the services, let alone the charges. This situation is becoming more prevalent in our changing healthcare system; the result is that local hospitals look increasingly to the community for support that will allow them to continue the level of quality care the surrounding area has come to depend on. Last year, Takoma Regional Hospital gave $4.9 million dollars in uncompensated care to the community! While the hospital provides charitable benefits to the community every year, this year we need the community’s help in improving emergency services.
