Team Member Giving
The Team Member Giving Program provides Wellstar team members with the opportunity to easily contribute to the health of their community with a recurring gift to the Foundation. Every dollar donated supports projects that enable us to deliver world-class healthcare for our families, friends and neighbors across Wellstar’s service area.
Wellstar Hospitals
Contribute to your neighborhood Wellstar hospital or a Wellstar hospital of your choice. Your donation provides support for equipment and facility enhancements that advance patient care.
Emergency Assistance Fund
The Emergency Assistance Fund helps team members who need financial support after experiencing an unforeseen catastrophic event.
Educational Scholarship Fund
The Wellstar Foundation Educational Scholarship Program offers financial assistance to qualified persons continuing their education in healthcare related fields. Wellstar Foundation Educational Scholarships are awarded to Wellstar team members, team member dependents, and team member spouses.
Wellstar Center for Health Equity
Your support can drive initiatives that enhance health equity across our service area by providing critical funding toward programs such as mobile markets, maternal education, behavioral health support for individuals in emergency housing, free cancer screenings and more.
Wellstar's Greatest Need

The Impact of Giving
It’s through our Team Member Giving Program that we, as One Wellstar, are able to support one common goal—to deliver world-class healthcare for our families, friends and neighbors across all Wellstar communities. As individuals, we make a difference in our patients’ lives each day, but when we come together to support Team Member Giving, that impact is magnified for generations.
What does it mean to be a non-profit?
As a non-profit health system, every dollar received through the Wellstar Foundation is reinvested into worthy initiatives that enhance patient and community care. All donations are tax deductible as allowed by law. Wellstar Foundation’s Tax ID is 58-1627413.
How much should I give?
Whether big or small—every dollar makes a difference! 100% of donations to the Wellstar Foundation go directly toward the initiative designated by the individual donor. Enrolling in automatic payroll deduction is the easiest way to give. You may also choose to give through recurring or one-time credit card payments.
Estate/Planned giving is also an excellent way for team members to give back to the health and well-being of your community. There are many benefits to planned giving, including reducing your tax burden, meeting your philanthropic goals and leaving a lasting Wellstar legacy.
