Our Story

In 1994, a group of individuals joined in conversation — united by a common aspiration, profound sense of purpose and a shared philanthropic road map — in support of WakeMed’s mission. Committed to transformative care, they created a pathway to build healing environments, enhance access to care, foster new and innovative programs and cultivate skilled caregivers to meet the diverse needs of patients. Our years are marked by impressive brick-and-mortar achievements, such as the WakeMed Children’s Hospital, Women’s Pavilion & Birthplace, Neonatal Intensive Care and expansion of our Rehabilitation Hospital. It was the beginning of what passionate people — including dedicated partners, expert clinicians and skilled employees — would achieve through collaborative efforts. Today, philanthropic funds continue to be invested throughout the WakeMed health system —in support of improving patient care and building a healthier community.
