For the first time in Pardee Hospital Foundation’s history, every dollar the Foundation invested in UNC Health Pardee during fiscal year 2026 was connected to a specific project, program or equipment need.
This milestone represents an important step forward in how we share the impact of philanthropy with our donors. By partnering with the UNC Health Pardee Accounting Department, the Foundation can provide an even greater understanding of how charitable giving strengthens healthcare across our community.
From advanced technology and lifesaving equipment to patient support programs and essential services, every gift helps ensure our physicians, nurses and care teams have the tools they need to deliver exceptional care close to home.
