What an incredible Employee Campaign!

Not only did we have an amazing two weeks going Back to the 90s, but together, CarolinaEast employees and volunteers once again showed what it truly means to care for the community we are privileged to serve.

We are proud to announce that CarolinaEast employees and volunteers collectively raised an incredible $440,410!

What’s even more meaningful is that 100% of these funds will go directly back into our community, supporting vital healthcare initiatives that impact patients and families right here at home.

Every day, our staff and volunteers make a difference through the compassionate care they provide. Through their generosity, they are making an even greater impact beyond the walls of our organization.

We are beyond grateful for this extraordinary team and proud of the difference we are making in our community together.

Please take a moment to help us celebrate and thank our incredible staff and volunteers for their generosity and commitment to making a difference in the lives of those we serve every single day.
