History of Giving

Five motivated community members founded the Oneida Healthcare Foundation (OHF) in 1971 with the goal of using public donations wisely to improve the standard of patient care provided at Oneida City Hospital. The Foundation was created as a distinct, independent organization with a clear purpose: to raise money to improve patient care at Oneida City Hospital. The hospital was a city-owned facility and OHF is a 5013c non-profit organization.

The OHF has now grown to include scholarships, medical technology grants, educational initiatives, and more. They are all intended to help Oneida Health patients, families, and staff members. The community’s kind gifts, business alliances, grants, and earmarks help the Foundation carry out its goal. The OHF works closely with the hospital administration to identify areas of need and allocate funds accordingly. Through their efforts, the Foundation has been able to make significant contributions to the education of the medical staff and provide state-of-the-art equipment for improved patient care at Oneida Health.
