It isn’t often we get to look back and say,
“I’ve made a difference”.
But here, that chance comes along often. You, as a donor, advocate, and friend of the CAMC Foundation make an impact every day.
The 2022 CAMC Foundation Community Benefit Report will highlight our most recent year, along with recognition of those that help make it all possible.
Here, you can see the difference your gifts have made on your family, friends, and neighbors. Your compassion impacts public health, science, medicine, education, and contributes to the quality of life and economic vitality of our region.
Here, your support encourages the brave patient battling a cancer diagnosis, commends the learner and educator who are working together to improve access to care, consoles the child treated at CAMC Women and Children’s Hospital, and celebrates the lives touched by staff members of CAMC.
Here, we celebrate YOU! You make it all possible! Thank you for partnering with us, YOUR hospital, to make a difference. On behalf of the CAMC Foundation Board of Directors and the CAMC Foundation staff, we thank you for your continued commitment to a brighter future.
R. Bryan Cummings
President
In 2019, the CAMC Foundation embarked on an ambitious fundraising endeavor, the Knowledge at the Center of Care Campaign.
The campaign, under the leadership of co-chairs Dr. J.P. Tierney and Dr. Nancy Tierney, set out to raise $6 million dollars to help construct and outfit a new, state-of-the-art CAMC Center for Learning and Research.
A bold, but important goal, the success of the campaign, and the construction of a new facility, will create benefits for our community – high quality health care, improved patient outcomes, population retention, and economic impact.
That is why this project is so important and it is why CAMC is expanding its commitment of providing simulation, education, research and learning experiences to professionals throughout our state.
In 2022, the CAMC Foundation celebrated successfully completing the Knowledge at the Center of Care Campaign by securing more than $6 million dollars in philanthropic support.
The CAMC Center for Learning and Research will serve as CAMC’s ongoing commitment to the community to promote and advance healthcare learning for all medical professions; thereby helping CAMC to maintain its high level of services to the people in our region and beyond.

Our Logo Has Changed, Our Mission Has Not
Our efforts to support and promote Charleston Area Medical Center’s delivery of excellent and compassionate health services, and its contribution to the quality of life and economic vitality of the region has not changed.
As you saw in 2022, CAMC and Mon Health System have combined to create a single health care system called Vandalia Health, and as such, our logo now represents this next chapter for us.
Vandalia Health was inspired to improve health care in our communities. Together.
You will still know us as CAMC and Mon Health System – two established health care systems with strong West Virginia roots, nationally recognized for quality care.
And as such, you will still know us as the CAMC Foundation. Your generosity will remain in our community to support the CAMC Health System and the communities CAMC serves.
You deserve the best health care, and that’s what we will continue to deliver.
