Earlier this year, The Hospital Foundation launched the Generosity Champion program at AdventHealth Polk, giving team members an opportunity to support their colleagues through regular charitable donations. Thanks to the generosity of these employees, The Hospital Foundation presented AdventHealth Polk with a check for $3,470 to support the Team Member Care Fund. Through our local Generosity Champion program, the $3,470 was donated by AdventHealth Polk team members between February and September of 2026.
