A heart for Hamilton. Our donors are our partners in everything we do. Your compassion and generosity drive us. You care about the people of northwest Georgia. You care about investing in the future. Hamilton was formed by caring citizens in response to the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, and as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic 100 years later, we must respond again. Throughout our history, bold visionaries have affirmed “why not here” and have shaped Hamilton Health Care System into what it is becoming today. Our philanthropic history guides us as we take heart care to the next level. We are creating a center of excellence driven by people of excellence. We’re on the cusp of a new age of physician specialists, medical technologies, and innovative therapies in heart care. Together, we can shape the future of Hamilton and northwest Georgia. And if we can, we must. You can be our catalyst. Take heart, we’re here.
We don’t have a moment to waste. Please help us revolutionize heart care. Can we count on you?
