MORE ABOUT PULASKI HEALTH FOUNDATION
The Pulaski Health Foundation was developed in 1959 as the Pulaski Memorial Hospital Foundation, a non-profit agency designed to facilitate the development and building of Pulaski County’s first hospital in 1963. Once the hospital was handed over to the Pulaski County Commissioners by law, the Foundation continued in its current name to pursue its mission: To improve our community through
health and wellness.

Several remodeling and program expansions have occurred since then. Riverwood Commons, a 24 unit, income eligible senior housing project was opened in 2001 and the purchase of Parkview Haven in Francesville, Indiana in 2013.
