Mission Statement
The Wilson Medical Center Foundation aims to assist the Wilson Medical Center in promoting, improving, and restoring health.
About This Cause
As a non-profit hospital, we are supported by donations from the community. As the fundraising arm, the Wilson Medical Center Foundation plays a crucial role in sustaining access to essential healthcare services in our community. Your generosity allows us to invest in healthcare needs in critical areas. Essential Healthcare Provider: Wilson Medical Center serves as a critical access hospital, providing indispensable healthcare services to Wilson County's rural population. In areas like Neodesha, the hospital is often the primary, if not the sole, healthcare provider. Geographic Isolation: Wilson County covers a large geographic area with limited access to larger healthcare facilities. Wilson Medical Center ensures that residents receive timely medical attention without the need to travel long distances, which is crucial in emergencies. Demographic Challenges: Population Size: Wilson County has a small population of approximately 8,500 residents, which includes a significant number of elderly individuals who require regular medical care and chronic disease management. Age Distribution: The county has a higher-than-average percentage of seniors, with over 20% of residents aged 65 and older. This demographic is more likely to need frequent medical services, making local healthcare access vital. Income Levels: Wilson County has a median household income lower than the national average, with many families living below the poverty line. This economic reality underscores the importance of accessible and affordable healthcare services provided by Wilson Medical Center. Health Status: The rural population often experiences higher rates of chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory illnesses. Wilson Medical Center plays a key role in managing these conditions through comprehensive care and wellness programs. Community Impact: Employment: As a significant employer in the region, Wilson Medical Center not only provides healthcare but also supports the local economy by creating jobs and contributing to economic stability. Preventive and Wellness Services: The hospital’s wellness programs, health screenings, and educational workshops help improve overall community health, reducing the long-term burden of disease. Emergency Services: With 24/7 emergency services, Wilson Medical Center ensures that urgent and critical care is available at all times, which is particularly crucial in rural areas where alternative emergency services are far away. Telemedicine and Advanced Care: The implementation of telemedicine services allows residents to access specialized care remotely, addressing the shortage of specialists in rural areas and ensuring comprehensive healthcare coverage. By providing these critical services, Wilson Medical Center plays an indispensable role in maintaining and improving the health and well-being of Wilson County’s rural population.
