Thanks to the generosity of people throughout the Sandhills and beyond, The Foundation of FirstHealth is thrilled to announce that it has completed its Match-A-Million campaign to raise funds for FirstFutures.
The goal of $1 million has been reached, and those donations will be doubled thanks to a matching gift from a generous donor family.
FirstFutures is a collaborative effort by FirstHealth and The Foundation to recruit and train the health care staff and providers of the future.
Launched in 2024, FirstFutures is reimagining how future health care providers explore
educational opportunities as they grow, functioning as a career pipeline for students.
Through FirstFutures sponsorship application, students will be selected to receive funding for their education in nursing, allied health or any other trade or program at one of the local community colleges that matches with a FirstHealth employment opportunity.
“FirstFutures is about more than funding education, it’s about creating opportunities, inspiring careers and building the next generation of caregivers,” said Dana L. Casson, CFRE, president of The Foundation of FirstHealth, in a press release. “Together, we can ensure that FirstHealth remains a strong, nationally recognized health system, ready to serve for years to come.”
