Corewell Health Greenville Hospital

Philanthropy helped build healthier communities by supporting outreach, education, and wellness programs that increase access and improve public health. This includes a partnership with seven Montcalm County food pantries to prioritize sourcing and providing more nutritious foods. This year, one pantry created a recipe library to provide simple, healthy recipes using pantry staples. Another adopted a food and nutrition policy with donation guidelines. Two more pantries launched the Veggie Voucher pilot program, delivering $1,500 worth of produce and nutrition education to 150 families. Thanks to your support, this program will continue to guide nutrition improvements and encourage healthy practices in our community. 

In 2025, philanthropy provided support for capital improvements at the Greenville Rehab and Nursing Center, improving the quality of life for residents. The first project transformed the old shower room into a spa-like space, with new floor and wall tiles, improved lighting, and a beautiful vanity, promoting a relaxing and inviting atmosphere for personal care. The second project included the installation of an awning on the patio, an area that previously had no shade. The adjustable awning can be moved so all residents are able to enjoy being outside at any time of day, safe from the sun and heat.   

Philanthropy supports programs that enable us to lend a helping hand to some of our most vulnerable community members. These are just a few examples of the impact your gifts made in 2025:  

A patient with a recent cervical cancer diagnosis had a lot of associated medical bills – along with her normal household bills – that she was trying to maintain. Unfortunately, the cost of her oral chemo medication was completely unaffordable. Philanthropy was able to cover the cost of her medication so she could treat her cancer as needed without falling behind.  

A patient and her husband faced significant hardship, including a cancer diagnosis, while also struggling with housing insecurity. They had depleted their 401k and were preparing for winter without heat or electricity in their home. Philanthropy paid their utility bills, allowing them to manage their health challenges without an additional burden of debt. 

A family welcomed a new baby this summer, joining two other children. Mom and Dad both worked hard to maintain their home garden. When their stove broke, philanthropy helped purchase a new one – supporting their goal of self-sufficiency through home cooking.
