Latrobe Area Hospital Charitable Foundation

Programs: Latrobe area hospital charitable foundationthe mission of the latrobe area hospital charitable foundation (lahcf) - to facilitate the very best in community-based health care at excela health latrobe hospital - supports the overall mission of the excela health system. And since the foundation's birth in 1995, the good people of latrobe and beyond have lent generous support for the betterment of latrobe hospital and the communities it serves. Contributions have gone to educational programs and projects that have been far-reaching and comprehensive. Serving as the steward for all contributions received on behalf of excela health latrobe hospital, the foundation also supports the hospital by administering numerous donor-specified contributions toward projects such as cardiac rehabilitation, childhood obesity nutrition program, adolescent behavioral health, epic rehab, and the new home for the excela health latrobe family medicine residency, among others. Throughout its history, the lahcf has supported many initiatives so that the message and practice of good health, disease prevention, and wellness reaches community members of all ages. Most recently, the lahcf has lent its support to one of excela health's newest projects - excela square at latrobe, specifically toward the family medicine residency program and the women's care center. With the increase in the number of residents and third-year medical students, the need for larger, more modern facilities became imperative. Space in this new facility provides an added competitive advantage to attract new residents from the small number of graduates choosing family medicine as a specialty. Further, the consolidation of services for women, including digital 3d mammography, ultrasound and biopsy, allows for a more complete and improved patient experience. Following a may 2016 groundbreaking at the site just off route 30 near the walmart plaza, site preparation began in earnest for this 118,000 square foot three-story complex. Completed in january 2018, this new "medical mall brings together women's care and the residency program, and the most widely needed outpatient services such as laboratory and imaging services including 3d mammography, outpatient rehabilitation, outdoor walking trail and a cafe as well as physicians of varying specialties, thus allowing family doctors to consult with their colleagues about a patient's unique needs, or order testing that's available onsite to help the patient maintain optimal health. The foundation's fund-raising efforts of more than $10 million have offset the capital expenditure made by the health system. During the course of the foundation's history to the present day, the latrobe area hospital charitable foundation has provided more than $16 million to benefit its hospital and community.
