⭐2025 Foundation Awards ⭐

Each year during the Highland Society Event we recognize donors who are making a difference in our communities. This may come in the form of financial support, advocacy, and volunteerism. This year we recognized the following donors:

Carolina Solution, Inc. was recognized as the Business of the Year for their rapidly expanding partnership over the last few years. Owner, Michelle Ellerbe first connected with us when we learned she taught Zumba and invited her to help lead activities at the FUNd Run. Not only did she bring incredible energy to the event, she immediately stepped forward as a business sponsor. When we launched our Bling Out Breast Cancer Competition, she as a breast cancer survivor and her company joined enthusiastically - mobilizing an impressive network of supporters and raising over $5,000, ultimately winning the competition. Her commitment didn't stop there. After attending one of our Foundation meet-and-greet sessions last year, she deepened her involvement even further by securing a head table at the Ritz as a White Glove sponsor, demonstrating her belief in our mission and her dedication to our community.

Next we honored our Friend of the Foundation for 2025. This award recognizes an individual who supports the Foundation in countless ways throughout the year - someone who shows up, speaks up, and lifts up our mission as a true ambassador. Beacham McDougald is known by almost everyone, if not personally, then by his posts on Facebook. Chances are you have followed his journey, his courage, his resilience, his humor, and his honesty as he's navigated the challenges of cancer. Through every high and low, one things has remained absolutely clear - his deep love and unwavering support for Scotland Health. Beacham's generosity reaches far beyond social media posts. It shows in his actions, his advocacy, and in his belief in the work we do. He inspires others, he champions our mission, and he reminds us what the power of community truly looks like.

It's an honor having folks like Michelle and Beacham work alongside us to change the trajectory of health in our rural communities! Thank you!

🌟 Healing Begins Here! 🌟

Scotland Memorial Foundation is excited to launch the community phase of our Healing Begins Here Capital Campaign — a major step toward expanding and renovating the Scotland Cancer Treatment Center.

Unveiled at the Highland Society Banquet, this campaign aims to raise $2 million to support a $10 million project that will add 8,000+ sq. ft. and fully transform the existing facility.

This expansion means:
💙 A larger chemotherapy lab with 25 infusion chairs
💙 Private, more comfortable treatment bays
💙 Additional exam rooms to reduce wait times
💙 A private infusion-area restroom
💙 A dedicated exit for patients leaving treatment with dignity

“This project began as an idea in 2019 and is finally becoming reality,” said Jennifer Wilkes, Director of the Scotland Cancer Treatment Center. “Our community deserves a space that reflects the exceptional care we provide.”

Executive Director Misty McMillan shared a powerful reminder of the Center’s roots: “I'm told that nearly 30 years ago, a feasibility study said a cancer center wouldn’t succeed here. But our leaders believed in this community — and because of their courage, thousands of families have received care close to home.”

Thanks to the dedication of our Capital Campaign Steering Committee—Paul Brooks, Danny Caddell, Faline Locklear-Dial, Jim Mason, Carol McCall, Wayne Wike, and Sandra Wilkes—the quiet phase has already raised over $900,000. 🙌

Now, we invite you to join us.
Every gift strengthens the future of cancer care in our region.💛 Healing begins here — and it begins with all of us.

🎉 We’re Proud to Celebrate Big News at Scotland Health! 🎉

We are honored to announce that Scotland Health Care System has been named one of only four national finalists for the 2026 American Hospital Association Rural Hospital Excellence in Innovation Award! Our innovative Scotland Health at Home program was recognized for transforming care for high-risk patients and strengthening the health of our communities.

During the opening ceremonies at the AHA Rural Health Care Leadership Conference, David Pope, our CEO & President, accepted this incredible recognition on behalf of our entire Scotland Health family. 🙌

This achievement highlights the dedication of our teams, the resilience of our patients, and the unwavering support of partners who help make programs like Scotland Health at Home possible — including Scotland Health, Scotland Memorial Foundation, the North Carolina Office of Rural Health, and The Duke Endowment.

💙 Thank you to every teammate, provider, partner, donor, and patient who has helped us reach this milestone. Together, we are building a healthier future for our communities — and we couldn’t be prouder!
