Mobile Mammography Unit. The latest project of the McLeod Foundation has been to raise funds to purchase a Mobile Mammography Unit. With some of the highest death rates due to breast cancer in SC, McLeod Health will be taking this life saving test to women in our 12 county region who may have barriers due to time, transportation or resources. An on-going funding priority will be to raise funds to pay for mammograms for women who need this service but do not have the financial resources.

The beautiful and serene surroundings of the Hospice House meet the needs of the patient and their family at a time when this care is most vital.

Children's Hospital <info>

The need for support continues as the number of patients and their families who benefit from the only such facility in our region continues to increase.

The McLeod Children's Hospital is one of only four Children's Hospitals in the state of South Carolina and stands out as one of the best in serving children and their families. Without the McLeod Children's Hospital, its Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, children of northeastern South Carolina and Southeastern North Carolina would have to travel away from the region to receive life-saving care. And, in an emergency situation, time can be the difference between life and death. Generous donations from caring individuals make the care and equipment needed to treat critically ill and injured children possible.

The Diabetes Center Staff <info>

The McLeod Diabetes Center is able to provide patients with the most up-to-date diabetes education and services. A person who learns how to control their disease will benefit from an improved quality of life. Increasing numbers of unemployed and the working poor have no coverage or resources for education and without these skills will face many serious health complications which affect their lives and strain healthcare dollars. Generous donors can assist these patients with educational opportunities and supplies that will place them on a road of self reliance and better health.
