A History of Community Health

In 1895, a group of community-minded citizens raised funds to create the Macon Hospital, now The Medical Center of Central Georgia .Much has changed at The Medical Center, but the generosity of its supporters remains a steadfast tradition in our community.

Founded in 1973, the Medcen Community Health Foundation encourages private donations and community support to fund capital needs and medical education and research. The Foundation's Board of Trustees manages the investments to ensure that they are improving the health of our community.

You can help us make a difference in the health of our community. Contact us to learn how you can help change lives through our Generation to Generation campaign.  This aggressive 5-year, 17-million dollar capital campaign raises money for projects affecting our community at various stages of their lives.  Also, these are healthcare services that we are ensuring for generations to come.

Our 3-pronged campaign is raising money to expand our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and pediatric cancer center to care for Central Georgians at the earliest stages of life.  We're also working to upgrade and expand our intensive care units.  We want to ensure our critically ill patients and their families that our hospital has the most technologically advanced medical equiment available to care for them and their loved ones.  (Fundraising for the ICU project has not begun at this time.)  The third aspect of Generation to Generation is fundraising to build an inpatient hospice house.  In building a hospice house, patients who require more care than home hospice can provide will have an alternative to a nursing home or the hospital.
