Lexington Medical Center fights cancer alongside its patients. The Foundation supports this care philosophy with cancer programs that help patients focus on their treatment and survivorship.
The Foundation works to ensure the highest quality health services and resources are available to new mothers and their babies. These initiatives are delivered through our We Care Internal Grants as well as the Women and Children Fund.
One in three deaths in South Carolina is related to cardiovascular disease. For this reason, the Foundation works to help heart patients achieve a full recovery through patient discharge kits, cardiac rehabilitation services and smoking-cessation.
The Foundation supports Lexington Medical Center’s mission by enhancing hospital services with impactful patient and community programs. These initiatives affect every area of patient care in Lexington Medical Center’s network of care and are often born from innovative minds and caring hearts of our employees.
At Lexington Medical Center, community members are treated like family. They find support when they most need it through Foundation programs and services — from nursing and allied health scholarships to caregiver training through the Helping U Grow Strong (HUGS) Ambassador program.
For more than 20 years, the Lexington Medical Center Foundation’s Emergency Care Fund has supported employees facing financial hardships due to an unexpected crisis event in their lives.
Our Initiatives

Foundation awards We Care Internal Grants to departments and facilities throughout the hospital’s network. These programs come from the hearts and minds of our dedicated employees and enable the Foundation to enhance patient care in unique and meaningful ways.
