Because Generosity Like Yours Moves Care Forward.

The Change You Set in Motion

A Message from Rick Scott

Thank you for being part of something bigger. We’re honored to share the collective impact of our donors, including grateful patients and families, community members, our colleagues, corporations and foundations

Together, donors gave $8.5 million in 2024. We directed $9.7 million – the highest total in recent years -- back to Presbyterian for priority needs like the Presbyterian Healthcare Advanced Learning Lab (new education/simulation center for training providers and staff), community health and expanded neuroscience services.

Behind every number is a patient helped, a caregiver trained, a life changed. That’s the power of what started here.
