The ACHA Foundation
The ACHA Foundation was established in 1993 and proudly supports Ashford, Flinders Private and The Memorial Hospitals through providing funds for medical equipment, facility upgrades and other programs, above those covered by operational budgets.
Giving to the ACHA Foundation provides employees, community members, grateful patients and their families with a unique opportunity to support ACHA's mission to provide an integrated range of quality and consumer centred medical, rehabilitation, surgical and related health services in a safe and caring environment.
The ACHA Foundation is a registered charity with donations over $2 tax deductible. A donation of any size makes a difference.
Gifts to the ACHA Foundation can be immediate, ongoing, or designated through a will or estate planning. They can be directed to any one of our hospitals or as a general donation.
The Foundation’s success is reliant on the generous support of individuals. Most donations are received from individuals and families, in many cases in memory of their loved ones.
The ACHA Foundation also acknowledges the volunteers at ACHA's hospitals for their valued contribution to the Foundation.
Additional information can be found in the ACHA Foundation brochure which is also available throughout our hospitals.
