Penn Highlands Healthcare Annual Giving Campaign Raises More Than $150,000 to Support Patient Care and Community Programs
(May 7, 2026, DuBois, Pennsylvania) Penn Highlands Healthcare is proud to announce the successful completion of its 2026 Annual Giving Campaign, raising more than $150,000 to support critical patient care initiatives and community programs across its health system.
This year’s campaign brought together three impactful initiatives — Building Brighter Futures Together, Hope Starts Here, With You in the Valley and Together for Her — each focused on addressing vital healthcare needs throughout the region.
Funds raised will support enhancements to the Penn Highlands Connellsville Regional Center for Autism, expand access to comprehensive Cancer Care services and strengthen Women’s Cancer Care programs. These investments help ensure patients have access to early detection screenings, advanced treatment options and compassionate, high-quality care close to home.
“As a non-profit healthcare system, the success of our Annual Giving Campaign is made possible through the generosity of our employees, donors and community partners,” said Lindsey Herzing, Donor Relations Manager, Penn Highlands Healthcare. “This level of support demonstrates a shared commitment to improving lives and advancing care throughout the communities we serve.”
Penn Highlands Healthcare extends its sincere gratitude to all who supported and attended events contributing to the campaign’s success. Your generosity ensures continued investment in programs and services that provide hope, healing and brighter futures for patients and families across the region.
