Past Accomplishments

In just fifteen years, the Wadley Foundation has provided over $2.5 million in equipment purchases, improvements, and educational opportunities to benefit our community through Wadley Regional Medical Center.

With the challenges of declining reimbursements and uncompensated care in today’s healthcare environment, a strong Foundation is vital to the success of a community-based health system such as Wadley Health System. It is through the support of Wadley employees, the Wadley Auxiliary, and our community that we are able to support Wadley’s commitment to provide world-class healthcare in a caring environment.
