The foundation board approved purchasing canvases by local photographers to create a permanent art display in Stafford County Hospital. These will be on display on a rotation with other exhibits. We are grateful to these local artists, Adrienne Minnis, Kim Fritzemeier, and Rebecca Austin, for sharing their talents so willingly with us. Our goal is to enhance the lives of the staff, patients, and visitors as they view these uplifting photographs.

Stafford County Health Care Foundation has given AEDs to each of the county schools for the purpose of having an AED available when not in the school building. These AEDs are in a durable waterproof carrying case and can be taken to the track/field or on field trips. Our county schools are doing a tremendous job of taking care of our students. We are grateful to them for being a key component in improving the health of Stafford County!

Posted 5/14/2021 - SCHCF Community Projects

Stafford County Health Care Foundation has been busy with community projects in 2021, in line with their mission to improve community health. First aid kits were purchased for Stafford Recreation Commission for the sports teams' coaches to have available at practices and games. These will be returned at the end of each season, to be used for the following sport season. Leisure Homestead in Stafford had needs met for two charting tablets and an oxygen concentrator. Leisure Homestead in St. John received a hi-low bed and a broda chair that they were needing. Kenwood Plaza acquired a mobile blood pressure unit and a scale to be used with a wheelchair. These projects would not have been possible without donations from the generous residents of Stafford County. Suggestions for community health improvement are always welcome.
