Amedeo Obici

Welcome to OBICI Healthcare Foundation

The Obici Healthcare Foundation is a new private Foundation established in 2006 with assets established through the generosity of Amedeo Obici and funds from the merger of the Obici Health System and Sentara Health Care.

The Foundation is a new independent entity unrelated to any other health organization. The Foundation is governed by an independent board composed of citizens living in Suffolk and in surrounding communities in the previous service area of the Louise Obici Memorial Hospital.

Addressing the unmet needs of the medically indigent and uninsured; and supporting programs which have the primary purpose of preventing illness and disease.

The Board of Directors has been encouraged by the enthusiasm of the community partners and the accomplishments achieved over the last year. From programs for children to serving seniors, we have touched every segment of the population in a meaningful way. This Annual Report features some of the programs we have funded including the expanded dental clinic in Ivor and the obesity prevention programs in Suffolk and Franklin. We know this is only the beginning. We are just starting to make an impact and we have so much more to learn and accomplish. Obici Healthcare Foundation is carving its legacy through the community like a river carves its path. Each year we are uncovering new and exciting opportunities.

When the Foundation was established as a private foundation and the Board of Directors selected, it was with great attention to character and community commitment. This year, we had our first founding Board Member rotate off the Board and a new member join us. Henry Simpson was the Board Treasurer and helped us understand the complicated Federal regulations that guide private foundations. He monitored and guided our process as we developed the basis for the financial footprint we follow today. Henry Simpson’s impression will be a lasting one on this Foundation as it benefits the community for generations to come.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, we are truly grateful for the guidance Henry provided us.

We are encouraged by the great possibilities and we look hopefully down river to what the future holds. As we look forward we welcome Frank Spady, III as our newest Board Member for 2009. We know that the strong leadership of our Board will be the stability we need to navigate this next year.

It is going to be an exciting journey.

Sincerely,

George Y. Birdsong
Chairman
