As a not-for-profit health care system, we partner with the communities we serve. Through generous support, you are enabling us to bridge the gap between "good" care and remarkable care, empowering us to provide comfort, wellness, and excellence in medical treatment for those in our care.
Riverside also shares a special kind of teamwork with our communities. Grateful patients, friends, family and generous community members unite in support of a higher standard of care through Riverside. Together, we care for our communities as we would care for those we love.
Make a Difference funds allow you to join in support of your community by giving to the facility or program that means the most to you personally. 100 percent of your gift is used to benefit our patients and allows us to provide a higher standard of care. Make a Difference gifts are also an opportunity to recognize a caregiver, honor a loved one or commemorate an anniversary, birthday or other special occasion.
