The Cherokee Indian Hospital Foundation's mission is simple but powerful: to remove barriers, support innovation, and provide resources that ensure the patients we serve have access to the very best care possible. Every dollar given to the Foundation stays right here, funding programs, equipment, and services that make a direct difference in the lives of our patients and their families.

Whether it’s funding wellness programs, or supporting initiatives that preserve and honor Cherokee culture in healthcare, your generosity fuels our ability to go beyond what’s possible.

On National Nonprofit Day, we want to say thank you — to our donors, our partners, and our community — for believing in our mission and helping us create healthier futures for the next seven generations.

The topic, ADVOCACY IN ACTION: How Community and Experience Shape the Fight Against Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW), Missing & Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP), and Lives Impacted by Domestic Violence, is one that hits close to home for many in our community.

We are honored to see Maggie’s voice and leadership uplifted in this important conversation, and we invite you to tune in and support.

We were proud to sponsor a team of CIHA staff last night in the Midnight Rumble Classic fundraiser to raise money for the Special Olympics and the Cancer Support Group! Not only did they raise money for these awesome causes, they did so while raising awareness on the importance of recovery efforts.

We still haven't full recovered from this incredible night celebrating the partnerships we have built across the region that share our goal of advancing the health and well-being of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians for the next seven generations!

How are we going to top this next year?
