Ensuring Access to Care in Rural Polk County

Our foundation is a not-for-profit, 501(c)3 organization established to financially support our Polk County hospital. The foundation board is made up of community members who’ve joined together to raise funds for new equipment, facility improvements, educational programs and the foundation's endowment.

AdventHealth Polk, formerly St. Luke's Hospital, is a critical access hospital (CAH). The CAH designation reduces the financial vulnerability of rural hospitals and improves access to health care by keeping essential services in rural communities.
