Welcome to the Latrobe Area Hospital Charitable Foundation
For more than 25 years the Latrobe Area Hospital Charitable Foundation
has supported the essential life-saving work at Latrobe Area Hospital.
As part of its ongoing commitment to the communities that Latrobe Area
Hospital serves, the Charitable Foundation provides important and impactful
financial support by funding new and vital medical equipment, much needed
hospital renovations as well as up-to-date professional and patient education.
A shining example of the Latrobe Area Hospital Charitable Foundation’s
commitment to serving the health care needs of the community is its investment
of $500,000 to help purchase the newest model of the da Vinci Xi robot
for Latrobe Area Hospital. This remarkable cutting edge technology allows
our surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgical procedures with incredible
precision and accelerated recovery and comfort for the patient.
