The W.C.A. Foundation was founded in 1981 as a repository for grants and bequests made for the benefit of WCA Hospital and healthcare initiatives in the Jamestown, NY area. As the Foundation has grown and community support has been forthcoming, several funds have been established within the Foundation to support particular areas of WCA Hospital and healthcare as provided in this region. Individual generosity has been the key to our success!
