Join Adena Health Foundation for a black-tie evening where your generosity helps shape the future of care for patients, caregivers, and communities across south central and southern Ohio.

Supporting the future of local health care

For more than 130 years, Adena Health has cared for the people and communities we serve.

When you give through Adena Health Foundation, you help turn generosity into meaningful impact — strengthening patient care, supporting caregivers, advancing technology, and expanding access to high-quality care close to home.

The Grand Gala is our signature event, bringing together donors, caregivers, business leaders, and community partners who share a commitment to the future of local health care.

Meet the co-chairs

The Grand Gala is co-chaired by Dr. James Fleming Jr. and Ben Daughters.

Together, Dr. Fleming and Ben represent the partnership between health care and community that helps make exceptional care possible across our region.
