About Us

Our Mission Matters

The T.J. Community Mission Foundation emerged in 2014 from a deeply rooted commitment to address the pressing healthcare needs of south central Kentucky. Founded on the principles of collaboration, sustainability, and accessibility, our mission has always been clear: to enhance healthcare access for all, ensuring no one is left behind.

From the beginning, we recognized the critical role of partnerships in expanding our impact. By supporting the mission of T.J. Regional Health, we have significantly broadened the scope of services available to our community. Our projects range from constructing healthcare facilities to developing innovative programs like Community Medical Care and Samsonville Square, each designed to meet the diverse health needs of our region.

Our commitment to the community is unwavering. Every initiative we undertake is aimed at building a healthier, more resilient future for the residents of south central Kentucky. By investing in healthcare education, preventive care, and essential medical services, we not only tackle today's challenges but pave the way for sustainable health solutions that will benefit generations to come.

At the T.J. Community Mission Foundation, we believe in the power of community to change lives.
