The Power of Many begins with the Power of One.

Participation in Associate Giving is our opportunity to show the community that we believe in what we do. It demonstrates our commitment to a mission of excellence, strengthens our hospitals and services and inspires others. Our senior leaders lead the way with 100% participation, and you are invited to join them.

As a Health First Associate, your gift has the power to change lives. And remember, no gift is too small. Because when we give together, our impact knows no bounds.

Thanks to your feedback, the Associate Month of Giving campaign is going paperless -- we are no longer using pre-printed pledge forms.

You now have a secure, private and user-friendly way to manage your donations. Visit HF.org/associategiving to make a new gift or update your current giving.
