Foundation
Contribute to Carlinville Area Hospital & Clinics.
The Carlinville Area Hospital Foundation is a not-for-profit companion corporation to Carlinville Area Hospital & Clinics. The purpose of the Foundation is to support the availability of primary and emergency healthcare services for residents of Carlinville and surrounding communities in and around Macoupin County, Illinois. The Foundation’s mission is to allocate funds to our comprehensive rural health system to enhance healthcare services for our rural communities. All donations, great or small, have a significant impact on the development and advancement of local healthcare services.
The Need
Due to the many changes in the Affordable Care Act and rapidly changing medical technology, many rural hospitals will face greater financial challenges. The residents of communities served by Carlinville Area Hospital & Clinics deserve the availability of a hospital that can meet as many of their needs as possible in a quality, cost-effective, and convenient manner.
2025-26 Initiative
Throughout 2024, the Carlinville Area Hospital Foundation received numerous generous contributions, greatly impacting the ability of the Foundation to improve local services for residents of Macoupin County. The construction of the all-new Virden Clinic and the recent purchase of the 30,000-square-foot Karmak building in Carlinville demonstrate the hospital’s commitment to the rural communities it serves — and the Foundation aims to help foster that growth further into the future.
Throughout 2025-26, the Foundation is seeking to raise $1 million across our communities to support the further development of expanded expert healthcare services locally and fund professional healthcare scholarships.
We invite you to make a meaningful impact by supporting Carlinville Area Hospital & Clinics through its charitable Foundation. Your generosity helps ensure that your family, friends, and neighbors have access to exceptional medical care right here in your community—care that saves lives, strengthens families and provides hope when it’s needed most. Please join us in making a difference.
Help connect your family, friends, and neighbors to high-quality healthcare for many more years to come!
