The Indian River Medical Center Foundation, an affiliate of Indian River Medical Center, is a not-for-profit, philanthropic organization whose primary mission is to generate contributions to supplement the capital requirements of the medical center. The Foundation is committed to developing a sense of community purpose in support of the medical center's mission, which is to provide excellent, cost competitive healthcare services to our community. Among the ongoing capital needs and special programs supported by the Foundation annually are: the Patient Advocate program in the ED, the Nursing Innovation Unit, nursing education, and new equipment purchases throughout the hospital. Currently in the midst of a $50 million capital campaign, the Foundation is providing significant philanthropic support for the Master Facility Plan being implemented at the hospital, which includes expansion of services and facility improvements to ensure that our medical center continues to provide The Right Care Right Here. http://www.irhf.org
