Building for the Future - Capital Campaign
Lake Hospital Foundation invites you to participate in an historical Capital Campaign that will raise $10 million to support the construction of TriPoint Medical Center, our new hospital, which will be located in Concord Township. The 300,000 square foot state-of-the-art digital hospital will include 119 private patient rooms overlooking a natural setting and a 28-bed emergency department.
TriPoint Medical Center has earned the noble distinction as one of 35 health care facilities nationwide to be selected by The Center for Health Design to participate in its Pebble Project. The Pebble Project is a joint research effort between The Center for Health Design and several healthcare organizations throughout the country who believe there is a correlation between facility design and an improvement in health care. The vision for TriPoint Medical Center has always centered on providing a healing environment; being a part of the Pebble Project will ensure that we achieve our goal.

Risk factors for developing diabetes include high blood pressure, high-fat diet, high alcohol intake, sedentary lifestyle, and obesity or being overweight. Age become a risk factor for those 45 and older. Diabetes is believed to have a strong genetic link with African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Japanese Americans at risk. Financial support of education efforts helps individuals manage this chronic disease.
