Geisinger Health Foundation: Winter Donor Impact Update

See how your philanthropy helps us deliver world-class care in central and northeastern Pennsylvania.

Geisinger grateful

Generosity from donors like you helps Geisinger invest in technology, treatments, and training that improves access to quality healthcare for our neighbors. Thank you for supporting our mission to improve the health of our community.

I give to Geisinger because...

The void of losing your loved one is irreplaceable. However, the comfort comes from knowing he has been well cared for in his final moments. To provide that kind of care and comfort to patients, families and communities, we must continually support innovative healthcare advancement and appreciate the people involved. Nothing is small or big, each and every contribution matters. Thank you!

Your gifts at work:

Here are just some of the ways philanthropy helps us improve care and makes it more accessible:

Specialty care expands in Wyoming County: Geisinger Tunkhannock is a new clinic that offers primary care, women’s health, ENT, mammography and imaging services, outpatient neurology and cardiology, general surgery and more.
New treatment improves breathing in people with lung disease: The new Zephyr valve treatment is a noninvasive alternative to a lung transplant or partial lung removal.
AI tools predict dementia: Geisinger scientists have validated an AI tool that could one day help physicians identify cognitive issues long before they progress into dementia.
Robotic-assisted technology spots lung cancer before it spreads: The new Ion system gives patients a better chance for survival.
Scholarships for Geisinger School of Nursing students: The new Runtagh Family Endowed Nursing Scholarship is funded with a $100,000 donation from the family of Anne and Robert Runtagh to honor the exceptional, compassionate care the couple received from Lewistown Hospital nurses.
