Lake Taylor Transitional Care Hospital has created a 135-year legacy of caring for community members – whether they are young, elderly, or in the middle of life. We provide every patient with compassionate and quality care, regardless if they are a brief visitor, recovering from surgery, or facing a serious long-term illness.

In order to build on that legacy, an $8 million campaign was launched in 2022 to endow a palliative care medicine program. With an initial $1.2 million gift from philanthropist Joan Brock and other cornerstone gifts, the Macon F. Brock Jr. Palliative Care Medicine Program was born. The intention was to ensure that every patient who comes to Lake Taylor with a serious or life-changing illness has access to palliative care, a holistic approach based on the needs and preferences of the patient, not on the prognosis. Over the next two years, an impressive group of supporters stepped up to meet the challenge to fully fund the program at Lake Taylor. Today, we are pleased to announce that through gifts received and gifts pledged to be made over the next few years, the financial goal has been reached, and the dream will soon become a reality.
