CHI Memorial has launched its "Invest in the Best" capital campaign, a multi-million dollar initiative aimed at expanding and enhancing patient care across a range of critical specialties. The campaign will focus on five key areas: cardiac care, emergency services, interventional pulmonology, stroke and neuroscience, and oncology. Hospital leadership and community leaders have already raised more than $12.9 million of the $20.65 million goal, including five lead gifts of $1 million or more.
Now, the health system invites local residents and community members to join these donors in supporting the hospital. The goal is to raise the final $7.75 million by June 2025. All gifts, regardless of the amount, will help achieve the fundraising goal. Donations can be made online at investinchatt.org or by calling (423) 495-4438. All donations designated for CHI Memorial’s Foundation will remain in Chattanooga, ensuring we continue to provide the highest quality care to our community.
“We understand donors want to invest their money wisely. CHI Memorial has an outstanding reputation for pushing the limits with technology and providing exceptional care,” shared Janelle Reilly, CHI Memorial market president. “We understand health care is a shared responsibility. It takes all of us—health care providers, community leaders, and citizens—to create an environment where everyone has access to the care they need. The public phase of our Invest in the Best capital campaign is a way for everyone to get involved and join the nearly 60 donors who have made this effort possible to date.”
'We all know Chattanooga is a growing city and one of the cornerstones to a vibrant community is having exceptional health care. CHI Memorial Foundation's Invest in the Best capital campaign is a way to take the already exceptional healthcare at CHI Memorial to an even higher level. I can't think of a better investment than to help grow our community in a way that will ultimately help serve hundreds of thousands of our region's citizens,” shared Tom White, Invest in the Best campaign co-chair.'
Tax deductible donations can be made online at investinchatt.org, or donors can call the CHI Memorial Foundation at (423) 495-4438. All money raised through the Invest in the Best capital campaign will go directly to support cardiac, emergency department, neuroscience, oncology, and pulmonology projects. Tom White and William Warren, MD, serve as co-chairs for the Invest in the Best campaign.
