For more than 45 years, the UF Health Leesburg Hospital Foundation has helped raise the necessary funds to purchase equipment and technology, complete construction projects, provide additional programs and services, and reach out into the community in a variety of ways. The Foundation funds scholarships for men and women pursuing health care careers and those looking to further their education in health-related fields.
Donors come from all walks of life and give for many different reasons. Each gift is important, no matter how large or small. Charitable contributions to the UF Health Leesburg Hospital Foundation are tax deductible.
