The Hospital Foundation in support of AdventHealth Polk is always happy to receive a donation of any size. During Coon Dog Day in Saluda, NC, a community member made a heartfelt donation of two dollars as her way of supporting our local hospital. Every donation allows the Foundation to support AdvenHealth Polk by purchasing equipment and sponsoring programs.
