Transylvania Community
Hospital Foundation

Transylvania Community Hospital has grown immensely in the sphere and quality of its services during the last few decades. Much of the support for that growth can be attributed to the Transylvania Community Hospital Foundation. Founded in 1986, the Foundation has raised millions of dollars to expand the level and scope of healthcare available for our community.

More Than You Imagined...The $14 million Inpatient Wing Project

The TCH Foundation is currently in the midst of a capital campaign to fund a new $14 million inpatient wing. The wing’s design will bring patients, families and care providers together in a calm, efficient, state-of-the-art healing environment.

The 25,000 square foot wing will have 30 new rooms for medical/surgical and critical-care patients. These rooms are designed for easy mobility, staff efficiency, and patient comfort and safety. Centralized nursing/physician stations provide greater efficiency and privacy. Patient charting systems will be electronic. Patient intake, waiting and consulting areas are large allowing for increased convenience and privacy. The building also includes the renovation and expansion for the dietary department.

For more information on supporting the campaign or to get involved, contact the Foundation at 828-877-4777.
