The Unity Health Foundation was formed in 1997 and will celebrate its 20th anniversary this year. Formerly known as the White County Medical Foundation, this organization was created to help ensure future growth. It is a not-for-profit corporation established as a charitable organization to provide support for the hospital. Throughout the years, Foundation funding has been used to purchase state-of-the-art equipment, renovations and specialized projects to help enhance patient care. The most recent campaign, "Miracles Happen Every Day," focuses on benefiting the New Life Center at White County Medical Center. Through the funds that have been raised, a fetal monitoring system has been purchased, as well as equipment for the nursery, and improvements have been made in patient rooms. The Unity Health Auxiliary is composed of more than 175 members who volunteer their time and talents to fulfill the needs of the hospital and patients. During the formative years of its existence, the Auxiliary had 65 members. Today, many members serve diligently through assisting patients, greeting visitors and working in campus gift shops. Auxilians donate more than 35,000 hours of service to Unity Health each year. Having won numerous awards from the Arkansas Hospital Association, Unity Health Auxilians are known far and wide for their devotion and dedication. The Unity Health Auxiliary helped kickstart the New Life Center campaign, "Miracles Happen Every Day" with a pledge of $200,000.
