Lake Taylor Foundation
Each quarter, the Lake Taylor Foundation’s Board of Directors meets to discuss our important work in the community and how best to promote and deliver the finest patient care. Because we receive no subsidy from the City of Norfolk or surrounding regional cities, we must reach out directly to the community to continue our unique health care missions.

Palliative care is the comprehensive treatment of a patient’s physical and medical needs, whatever the diagnosis, but also his or her emotional, social, and spiritual concerns.
“When Advanced Technology Meets Compassionate Care: Lake Taylor’s LTAC Hospital and The Passy-Muir Valve”
Created in 2004 supporting the Hospital, The Lake Taylor Transitional Care Hospital Foundation was established as a “supporting organization” to facilitate and promote charitable investment in support of the Hospital.
The 501(C)(3) not-for-profit organization is governed by a board made up of business, civic and medical leaders from throughout the region appointed by the Hospital’s Board of Commissioners. Through the steady stewardship of the dollars contributed by the Hospital and charitable investments received from patients, families, businesses and individuals, we are able to continue to support the Hospital in ways to enhance the patient’s experience.
Through the work of the Foundation, we have been able to complete the following improvements and look forward to a successful future:
- Patient room furnishings
- Rehabilitation gym equipment
- Ventilator equipment
- Courtyard renovations
- iPad and technology purchases
Other items supported:
- Wheelchair Rehab
- Electronic Door Openers
- Children’s Playground Renovation
- Children’s Physical Therapy Sensory Stimulation “Play Room”
- Wheel Chair recliner for Dental Clinic and Hair Salon
- Dental Clinic Equipment
- Automated Wheelchair Washing Machine
- Respiratory equipment in the Children’s Unit Cribs and specialized beds the Children’s Unit
