Help Transform the Freissle Family Women’s Center
Foster a faith-based, holistic birthing environment.
Comprehensive women’s health care that nurtures the body, mind and spirit
Your donation supports patients’ physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional well-being by recognizing the interconnectedness of these aspects of the birthing experience.
The Greenville-Spartanburg area is one of the fastest-growing regions in the country, and with that growth comes an urgent need for exceptional women's care. At Bon Secours St. Francis, we believe every birth is a sacred event, and every mother deserves an environment that honors her body, mind, and spirit throughout the entire journey.
Thanks to the generous lead gift from the Freissle family, we are transforming our 4th-floor Women's Center into a modern, compassionate care space equipped with upgraded technology, improved facilities, and personalized support for every expectant mother and newborn. But our work is far from finished, and your support is essential to making this vision complete.
Your philanthropic investment will help modernize our labor and delivery unit, strengthen our Level II Neonatal Care Unit, and sustain the faith-based programs that have guided our mission since 1932. Together, we can ensure that every family who walks through our doors feels informed, supported, and deeply cared for from their very first appointment to the moment they head home with their new baby.
Focusing on Four Key Investment Areas
Revitalizing Our Fourth-Floor Women's Center
- Our Women's Center, including the labor and delivery suite, requires an upgrade.
- We seek support to create a refreshed and welcoming space that meets patients' needs by introducing new equipment and enhancing the lighting for optimal care.
Advancing Technology and Innovation
- We aim to transform childbirth by integrating cutting-edge technology and evidence-based practices.
- Philanthropic investment will help advance and introduce innovative methods.
Removing Obstacles to Labor and Delivery Care
- Our goal is to break down barriers to comprehensive labor and delivery care, ensuring every expectant mother receives essential support during this crucial phase.
- Philanthropy will enhance access to care and foster an inclusive environment for all families.
Advancing Neonatal Care at Our Level III Neonatal Unit
- Some infants encounter challenges at birth, requiring assistance for high-risk and premature situations.
- Philanthropy and the services it supports can have a profound impact on these vulnerable infants and their families.
“At the Saint, we prioritize the well-being of expectant mothers and their babies. We understand the importance of families and believe that modern birthing centers are essential for providing personalized care, reducing costs, and creating a more home-like atmosphere. Our goal is to ensure the best possible experience for our patients, from the location of their delivery and the skilled professionals who care for them to the programs that make childbirth a special occasion. We are committed to fostering positive birth experiences.”
