Your Gift May Generate Unseen Smiles

Healthiest Kids

There are an estimated 1,200 children in Adams County with no medical insurance. The Children's Health Fund was established in 1999 to meet the health needs of uninsured and underprivileged children and families in our community. Over the past years, many important programs and projects have been supported by gifts to the Children's Health Fund.
Your gift will help to further enhance the health of a child who may otherwise not be able to afford it.

For more information on the Children's Health Fund or any of the programs listed below, call Gettysburg Hospital Foundation at (717) 337-4175.
