Chowan Hospital Foundation

The Chowan Hospital Foundation was formed in 1992 to provide leadership and resources to improve and enhance health care for residents in the Chowan community. Through new and continuing partnerships, the Foundation supports programs emphasizing disease and illness prevention and health promotion and wellness to create a healthier northeastern North Carolina.

Through partnerships with the community, Chowan Hospital Foundation has offered free monthly cancer support groups and cooking classes, funding for community screenings, medical exams and diabetes education and detection classes. In additions, programs have been offered that focus on child and maternal health, diabetes prevention and management, cardiovascular health and access to care.

In April 2008, digital mammography became a reality at Chowan Hospital through the fundraising efforts of the Foundation and countless community partners.
