Support PCHS

In 2006, Peninsula Community Health Services provided primary medical and dental care to 23,384 children and adults. This was made possible through a combination of program fees (patient fees collected through Medicare, Medicaid, managed care contracts, third party insurance and sliding scale) and federal, state and local grants. 

However, we would not be able to provide these services without the generous support from individuals in the community as well. This support bridges the gap between what PCHS receives from traditional funding sources and what it actually costs to provide services to those in need.  

Here are primary ways people choose to support PCHS:

Cash Contributions: We give supporters and the general community the opportunity to provide cash support of our programs through special direct mail appeals. Supporters also may contribute directly to us through matching gifts programs at their workplace and designated donations to the annual United Way, Combined Federal Campaign (CFC #55177) and Bainbridge Island "One Call for All" drives.

In-Kind Gifts: We welcome donations of goods and services that can be used for direct patient care or special events such as the silent and live auctions at our Care To Jazz - Gala Benefit.

Gifts in honor or in memory of someone special: Cash gifts are accepted when given in honor of special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries or in memory of someone who has passed. All contributors receive thank you letters and families are notified of memorial givers so that they can send personal acknowledgments.

Search with GoodSearch.com: Each time you use GoodSearch to search the Internet, you will designate $.01 of the search engine's charitable contributions to our organization. GoodSearch is a nonprofit company that donates 50 percent of its annual revenue to causes like ours. Best of all, it costs you nothing to use the site.

Special Events: The Care To Jazz Festival is PCHS’ signature fundraising event, which provides people the opportunity to have fun while supporting the organization. The annual Gala Benefit features a buffet dinner, silent auction and performances by some of the Northwest’s best jazz vocalists and groups. Jazz in the Woods is an afternoon concert on the green at McCormick Woods Golf Course, which features a star-studded lineup of Northwest jazz musicians and no-host food, beer and wine provided by McCormick Woods.

Event proceeds benefit the Edwin G. Tegenfeldt, MD Patient Care Fund.
