A note from our Foundation president

Ballad Health Foundation partners with members of our communities to improve the overall health of the people living in the Appalachian Highlands region.

Among the people the foundation supports, none are as dear to my heart as the children served by Niswonger Children’s Hospital. When we look in the eyes of a child, we can see hope—hopes and dreams of a brighter tomorrow. This year Radiothon will take on a special meaning as we invite our region to stand with us and make Hope Rise in the lives of our children once again. 

Whether you are a longtime Radiothon caller, a sometimes Radiothon participant, or a first time Radiothon team leader—thank you.  The callers you recruit, friends you text, and gifts you give will help keep families closer together and closer to home. Because of you, more families can heal close to home. Because of you--Hope is Rising!
