Fort HealthCare Partners awards $14,000 in health career scholarships annually, and provides funding for new equipment, new services and patient education at Fort HealthCare. Additionally, the Partners organization regularly provides volunteer services that supplement the basic functions of hospital staff to make a patient’s stay more pleasant.

Fort HealthCare Partners is a voluntary organization dedicated to promoting the interests of Fort HealthCare and its patients. Volunteers donate their time and energy to help others, enjoy opportunities to learn new skills, get a better understanding of the health field, and use some of their free time more productively.
