Excellence
Building on the Tradition
The Winter Haven Hospital Foundation, Inc., is an independent, Winter Haven-based, not-for-profit charitable institution governed by a board of volunteer trustees. The Foundation cultivates philanthropic support to provide patients with state-of-the-art medical care, cutting-edge technology and equipment, and the best educated and trained personnel. All funds raised are retained locally and utilized to support the not-for-profit patient care mission of Winter Haven Hospital.
Starting with zero assets after re-incorporating in 2002, the Foundation, with generous visionary support, has grown its total assets to more than $18 million as of 2018. Concurrently, over the past decade, the Foundation has conveyed over $16 million to expand and enhance patient care services for our community.
In 2015, State Farm© donated one of the most visible and valuable pieces of real estate in eastern Polk County to the Foundation.
State Farm’s visionary investment has allowed the Foundation to convey a long-term land lease with a commercial value of $6.5 million to Winter Haven Hospital. With this magnificent gift, the hospital completed the first phase of construction of a 16,000-square-foot medical arts center on the property. Now completed, the facility has dramatically increased access to high-quality health care services for Highway 27 corridor communities.
