Areas to Support
Educational Assistance
The CAMC Foundation helps support that proud tradition by allocating philanthropic dollars to support educational assistance for students pursuing a career in nursing or an allied health field (Licensed Practical Nurse, Imaging, Medical Technologist, Respiratory Therapists), current CAMC employee educational expenses, and continuing education for health care providers at CAMC.
Women and Children's Hospital
The CAMC Foundation honors brave little children facing big medical problems and celebrates the babies, children and families cared for at CAMC Women and Children’s Hospital.
Gifts to the CAMC Foundation play a significant role in helping deliver healthcare to the children and families cared for at CAMC Women and Children’s. Most importantly, these funds sustain a positive and healing presence in West Virginia and help provide the best possible start in life for these tiny patients.
