Year after year, generation after generation, the close connection between Day Kimball Healthcare and the residents of Northeast Connecticut is renewed again and again through a unique spirit of giving – a relationship characterized by people caring for the hospital that cares for them. Starting with Mrs. M. Day Kimball’s original donation of $5,000 in 1894, that philanthropic spirit has been critical to Day Kimball and its impact transformational. Thanks to thousands of donors and thousands of gifts of all sizes, voluntary support and service has paved the way for every major evolution of program and services at Day Kimball since its founding.
Incorporated on October 1, 2018, the role of the Day Kimball Healthcare Foundation is to ensure that tradition of giving continues through philanthropic initiatives with the sole purpose of supporting quality healthcare in the community, and the lifesaving work performed at DKH.
