Our vision & history

The West Tennessee Healthcare Foundation was established in 1985 to strengthen the health and well-being of our region by serving as a catalyst for positive changes in healthcare, education, the arts, and other causes.  

We provide philanthropic support for West Tennessee Healthcare and its nineteen county service area, and we enhance the quality of life for local residents by supporting programs, initiatives, and organizations serving rural West Tennessee.
