Presbyterian Hospital Foundation

Community outreach is a critical component to the mission of Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center Foundation. Thanks to the support of Countless individuals, funding sources and community support of fundraising events, Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center Foundation is able to help improve the lives of those in Charlotte, NC and surrounding counties in many unique ways. Novant Health's Grants Administration team collaborates with grant funders and Novant Health clinical and operational leaders to connect funders' passions to critical needs, honoring intent and communicating impact.

These clinics will provide vital access to primary and preventive care to some of the city's most at‐risk and underserved communities. With services ranging from well visits, behavioral healthcare and physical therapy to social work, oral health and family planning, the clinics will offer patients a stable, integrative medical home right in their neighborhoods. Over the next five years, the clinics are expected to serve more than 35,000 charlotte children and adults, many of whom currently use emergency room services for their non-urgent medical needs.

A multi‐faceted symptom management and rehabilitation program specially designed to help cancer survivors reach their desired quality of life, both physically and emotionally, is supported through foundation funds. Because many vital survivorship programs are not covered by insurance, our ultimate goal is to raise funds to support every one of our cancer patients through their survivorship journey and the many programs offered. Some of these programs include "strides to strength", an ongoing cancer wellness and fatigue management program to improve physical and emotional recovery for all cancer survivors undergoing treatment or recovering from its effects; yoga for cancer survivors catering to a variety of survivor needs and skill levels; massage for cancer survivors taught by licensed massage therapists with special training in oncology; and exercise and nutrition where cancer survivors learn about incorporating nutrition and exercise into their care.

Provides free support services to anyone in the community affected by cancer. Services include counseling, support groups, case management services, educational seminars, resource library and a lending boutique for borrowing wigs, scarves, hats, turbans, bras and prostheses.

The John M. and Claudia W. Belk Heart and Vascular Medical Plaza, a comprehensive outpatient facility. The Belk donation is the lead gift in the Foundation's groundbreaking campaign, a capital campaign, which Presbyterian Medical Center launched to take on the nation's number one and number two killers ‐ cancer and heart disease. The Outpatient Heart and Vascular and Cancer Institute will enhance patient‐centered care coordination, improve accessibility, increase affordability and provide leading‐edge treatments for patients facing these challenging diagnoses that often require numerous appointments over the course of many months. The facility will function as a hub for virtually all outpatient needs a cardiac patient may have, including: medical clinics for cardiology and cardiovascular surgery, rehabilitation, nutrition services, dedicated nurse navigators, research and clinical trials, a retail pharmacy, and chapel. A sky bridge connecting the facility to Presbyterian Medical Center will support the continuity of care for all patients who access these services. The facility will also house Presbyterian Medical Center's Outpatient Cancer Services including a cancer urgent care and the cardio‐oncology program, an emerging field of medicine dedicated to minimizing the cardiovascular impact of cancer treatment.
