Together, We Can Make a Difference.

In addition to acknowledging the official start of hospital construction, our October 8th groundbreaking event also marked the announcement of Memorial Health Foundation’s Together Campaign.

 A five-year, 50-million-dollar endeavor, the Together Campaign aims to significantly alter the healthcare landscape of our region by supporting the creation of Southeastern Ohio’s only hospital dedicated to women and children, ensuring an endowment to secure the future of care for the community, and by contributing to the cornerstone of Memorial Health Foundation, the Memorial Health Fund.

 Together Campaign Steering Committee Co-Chairs, Dan Breece, DO, and Leah Breece, spoke at the close of the event, sharing with those gathered the vision of the campaign, as well as the importance of its mission and the necessity of its success. “We are rooted in this community,” shares Dr. Breece.

 “We have been here for fifteen years and have two beautiful children here in the area, so we know what it means to bring world-class healthcare to this community. You expect great healthcare, and you deserve great healthcare, and that’s what we’re going to do.”

 Acknowledging that this region deserves healthcare that is equal to that of any urban area and recognizing that a thriving healthcare system is truly the foundation of a healthy community, the Together Campaign seeks to expand services, meet the needs of current patients, and guarantee that future patients have access to the care they deserve.

“This is the most ambitious campaign that we’ve ever had,” explains Dr. Breece, “but we can’t do it alone—we can do it together.”

The campaign’s silent phase began on October 1, 2022, and thanks to an outstanding $30 million contribution from the State of Ohio, the campaign has since raised $37 million towards its $50 million goal. With the launch of the campaign’s public phase during the October 8th groundbreaking event, it was revealed that Memorial Health Foundation’s current goal is to raise an additional $13 million by December 2027.

Memorial Health Foundation calls on community members to unite, join those who have already risen to the challenge, and engage in this vital conversation. By joining the Together Campaign, anyone can play an essential role in shaping the future of healthcare in the region and create a lasting impact on the health of their friends, family, and neighbors.
