Southwest Health Foundation
The Southwest Health Foundation was started in 1986 as a not-for-profit organization that centralizes all fundraising efforts of Southwest General Health Center. From the beginning of Southwest General in 1920, the spirit of philanthropy has always been part of the backbone that keeps the hospital equipped to serve the needs of our patients and community members.
In the most recent years, the Southwest Health Foundation has been able to secure necessary funding for many important projects through the support of our donors, corporate partners, and grant funding. Some of this funding includes:
The Cosgrove Family Foundation - A $1.25 million gift from The Cosgrove Family Foundation, led by Paula
and Bill Cosgrove, will help to support a higher-level maternity and newborn
care at Southwest General. When completed, the newly named “Cosgrove
Maternity Center at Southwest General,” will be the only Level II
Neonatal Special Care Nursery and maternity care facility in southwestern
Cuyahoga County and northern Medina County.
The new Cosgrove Maternity Center at Southwest General will include:
- A higher level of maternity care—elevating from Level I (35+ weeks of pregnancy, current) to Level II (32+ weeks of pregnancy, coming 2022)
- A Level II Neonatal Special Care Nursery (coming 2022)
- Ten labor and delivery suites
- Nineteen postpartum suites (coming 2022)
- Upgraded Labor and Delivery Suites and state-of-the-art Operating Rooms for Cesarean section (C-section) deliveries
- A Well-Baby Nursery

The Foundation is so thankful to have Carol Jankura as a friend and supporter.
Just recently she helped bring a special training to Southwest General
after seeing the benefits herself while being treated at our Strongsville
location. Visceral Manipulation 1 taught by the Barral Institute was brought
to Southwest General where 9 of our therapists were able to attend on
June 2-5, 2022. Thank you Carol!
