About Samaritan Hospital Foundation
Samaritan Hospital Foundation concentrates its giving on sustaining and expanding healthcare services in the Samaritan service area, with one recipient standing out across multiple years: Samaritan Regional Health System received $4,042,512 in 2025, $4,008,360 in 2024, and $1,928,691 in 2023. That pattern shows a foundation that supports core hospital operations at substantial scale while also funding a wide circle of local health and community organizations. The foundation’s recent grants connect hospital support with community-facing health needs. Ashland Access received $96,200 in 2025, while Ashland Christian Health Center received $86,450 in 2024 and $38,405 in 2025. The grant list also includes support for Ashland County Cancer Association, Ashland Special Needs Ministry, and Firelands Ambulance Service, indicating attention to cancer support, disability-related services, and emergency response. Beyond direct healthcare delivery, the foundation also funds school, childcare, family service, and civic partners that extend health-related support into daily community life. Its leadership is listed under Richard L Beal, and the recent grant record shows repeated support for several organizations over multiple years rather than a one-time pattern.
What Samaritan Hospital Foundation Funds
Healthcare delivery is the foundation’s clearest area of support. Samaritan Regional Health System received the largest grants in the file, including $4,042,512 in 2025, and Ashland Christian Health Center also received multiple awards across 2023 through 2025. Community health and outreach appear in grants to Ashland Access, which received $96,200 in 2025 and $35,150 in 2024, and to Ashland County Cancer Association, which received $81,500 in 2025, $37,722 in 2024, and $26,100 in 2023. The foundation also supports workforce and family services. Fostering Family Ministry received $31,100 in 2024 and $31,000 in 2023, while Foundations Community Childcare received $30,000 in 2024. Employee and crisis-support purposes are part of the stated program focus, and the grant record fits that broader pattern of health-adjacent community support.
How Samaritan Hospital Foundation Gives
Typical grants cluster around $19,000 at the 25th percentile, a $25,000 median, and $32,112 at the 75th percentile, even though the distribution includes much larger hospital-support awards. The record shows repeat giving to the same organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025, especially for hospital and community health partners. This is a foundation, not a donor-advised fund, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The grantmaking is local, with all recipient grants in Ohio. Unsolicited applications are not accepted for the active Samaritan Healthcare Foundation general funding and community support program.
