The 2014 Annual Campaign is underway.  With just over $21,000 in donations we are almost half way to our goal of $50,000.

The funds from this campaign allow the WCMS Foundation to help residents in our region who are uninsured- they are vulnerable to health crises from chronic conditions or illness. With your help, the WCMS Foundation provides access to health care for uninsured and under-insured people in need.

Please help us reach our campaign goal.  Join our Campaign division chairs in support of the WCMS Foundation and donate today.
