Fund Development

Through individual, civic, and corporate generosity, the Fund Development office raises funds that support the Hospital’s mission to its patients, employees, doctors, and students. The end result is the fulfillment of our most important mission: To fund initiatives that provide programs and services to improve the quality of life in our community. 

The Fund Development office supports the Hospital which is a private community non-profit hospital that has remained strong and independent despite the healthcare industry’s penchant for mergers and acquisitions. In fact, Ohio Valley General Hospital continues to be a vibrant community resource that attracts some of the best doctors in the city, a fact that has spawned an ongoing image campaign built on the theme, “One of the best hospitals in the city isn’t in the city.” Proving that this isn’t just an empty slogan, the hospital is consistently ranked among the top hospitals – not just across town but across the country.
