About Annual Giving
Annual gifts are used exclusively at Reading Hospital and allow us to provide support of the Hospital’s programs, services, research, education and professional development above and beyond what the hospital already offers.
Gifts Impact Every Aspect of Patient Care
Gifts also provide the most flexibility to meet the hospital’s immediate needs. Supporting the Reading Hospital Foundation ensures that we have resources for ongoing treatment, preventative care and education for our patients and community.
