Community Involvement

At Kindred Healthcare, our community involvement is consistent with our company’s principles and with our mission of customer service and quality care.

Through the Kindred Foundation, the company maximizes resources to support worthwhile community activities in three categories – healthcare-related charities, employee education and mission-related research – giving our nursing centers and hospitals the ability to participate at a higher level in non-profit organizations they already support in their communities across the United States.

We have focused our efforts on developing strong partnerships with three key healthcare-related, non-profit organizations that are closely aligned with our business – the Alzheimer’s Association, the American Lung Association  and the American Heart Association .

These organizations have missions that are consistent with ours and through our involvement we can help them raise awareness about their important causes and aid these groups in funding research.

In addition, we have committed dollar-for-dollar matching funds for the hospitals that participate in the American Lung Association’s Asthma Walk and for the hospitals and nursing centers that take part in the American Heart Association’s Heart Walk. The company also provides funds to each hospital to sponsor their local Asthma and Heart Walks.

Kindred is committed to being a responsible corporate citizen in every community we serve. We will nurture partnerships with these organizations and continue to grow our involvement.
