About the East Hampton Healthcare Foundation

The East Hampton Healthcare Foundation was formed by a group of concerned citizens in 1998 to address the critical need for comprehensive quality healthcare services on the east end. Through fundraising efforts, the non-profit foundation built the state-of-the-art East Hampton Healthcare Center, which opened its doors to the public in 2002. The Center was designed to serve as a model community healthcare facility for all residents, including the underinsured and uninsured. With the mission of a single standard of care for all, the Foundation facilitates the coordination of health services from existing community resources.
