WAYS OF GIVING

From the very beginning, the community has supported its hospital. Beginning with the birth of Levittown 1949, and the 17,000 homes that were built, community leaders spoke of building their own hospital. The idea took root based on one charitable contribution, and that tradition of giving continues to this day.

Since 1954, Lower Bucks Hospital's mission has been to provide this community with the finest healthcare possible, and to offer it to all people, regardless of their ability to pay. With over $100 million invested in the infrastructure on our 36-acre campus, and millions of patients cared for, LBH has brought state-of-the-art care to this region.

But neither the life-saving technology nor the legacy of healing would be here if not for the sacrifice and generosity of thousands of individuals, corporations, union members, foundations, and thousands of grateful families.

Every day the hospital welcomes the opportunity to help those in need, and, in turn, this community reaches back to the hospital, investing in its success, helping to advance its noble, humanitarian mission. It is important to know that 100% of your gift goes to the facilities and healthcare programs right here on our campus.

How can you support your community hospital so that vital services are ready and waiting to care for you or a loved one in a time of need? How can you show your appreciation for the care a family member or friend already received at Lower Bucks Hospital? Make a donation - large or small - everyone can help!
