The CoxHealth Foundation was the first place to tell me YES, they could help when I had no way to pay for my rehab after my heart attack. They saved my life.” Clint D., Springfield “The CoxHealth Foundation gave me a way to honor my parents through the room we adopted in the ER. My parents now have a lasting legacy providing hope to other patients in the ER. This made us feel very special.”
