To improve the health of our community and to serve as a regional leader in delivering exceptional value through quality outcomes, excellent patient experiences, and accessible care—regardless of a patient’s financial status, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or beliefs.
The Christ Hospital’s recent giving is anchored by large general sponsorships to local school districts and community health organizations, showing a pattern of support that reaches beyond direct clinical services. In 2025, it awarded $205,750 to Oak Hills Local School District and $200,000 to Forest Hills Local School District, while also backing Lakota Local School District with $155,000. That mix sits alongside healthcare-oriented support for organizations such as the American Heart Association Inc and Center for Respite Care, suggesting a broad community-health strategy rather than a single programmatic lane. The foundation’s stated purpose is to improve the health of its community and serve as a regional leader in delivering exceptional value through quality outcomes, excellent patient experiences, and accessible care regardless of a patient’s financial status, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or beliefs. Its giving reflects that mandate through sponsorships, charity-care-related support, and community partnerships tied to education, wellness, and access. A recurring theme is institutional support for Cincinnati-area organizations, especially schools, health nonprofits, and local civic groups. The Christ Hospital also maintains a scholarship program for non-traditional nursing students at The Christ Hospital School of Nursing, reinforcing its interest in workforce development within healthcare.
In education-related giving, The Christ Hospital has used general sponsorships to support local school districts, including $220,000 to Lakota Local School District and $210,014 to Oak Hills Local School District. Those grants indicate a relationship with institutions that sit close to the communities it serves. Health access appears in several forms. The foundation gave $100,000 to Center for Respite Care in 2025 and another $175,000 to the Center for Closing the Health Gap in 2023, pointing to support for organizations working with patients and residents who face barriers to care. Community wellness and public-facing partnerships also show up in the portfolio. It awarded $135,000 to the American Heart Association Inc in 2025 and $50,000 to United Way of Greater Cincinnati in 2024, alongside sponsorships for organizations tied to local visibility and civic engagement.
