Regional Foundations and Development Councils

The Vidant Bertie Hospital Development Council was formed in the fall of 2005 with the mission “to build relationships and help secure financial resources to support the health and wellness services of Vidant Bertie Hospital."

The Vidant Edgecombe Hospital Development Council is a 13-member organization that works in partnership with Vidant Edgecombe Hospital to raise funds to supplement programs, services and equipment that may not be included in the hospital’s annual budget.

When we formed the Outer Banks Hospital Development Council in 2005, cancer services across our region were fragmented — and we wanted to do something about it. Our solution? Establish a single location where families in our community could turn for cancer information and support.

Established in 1992, Chowan Hospital Foundation has a long history of partnering with loyal donors like you, who make direct impacts on the health of our community through generosity of your time, talent and treasure.

Through public awareness and fund-raising events, the Foundation works to assist the hospital with needed capital projects, equipment purchases, program development and provided services. Some of the specific areas recently supported include stroke prevention, cancer care services, women’s care and men’s health.

Working together, Vidant North Hospital Development Council and the Roanoke Valley provide opportunities to improve healthcare through the Halifax Regional Foundation. Gifts to the Foundation provide essential financial support toward the Hospital’s mission of meeting the healthcare needs of the community.

Roanoke-Chowan Foundation was created originally as a public foundation, and in 1997 became an independent private foundation with a mission of meeting health and wellness needs of the Roanoke- Chowan communities.

The Shepard Cancer Foundation supports the Marion L Shepard Cancer Center in its efforts to improve the mind, body and spirit of cancer patients, survivors and caregivers. The foundation also provides assistance for patients who may have become financially burdened by their cancer diagnosis.
