An agreement between the ECU Medical & Health Sciences Foundation and the Vidant Health Foundation has been signed and executed, resulting in the creation of the ECU Health Foundation. These two entities have aligned to operate as a unified philanthropic arm supporting ECU Health and ECU’s health sciences campus. This alignment follows the joint operating agreement between East Carolina University’s Brody School of Medicine and the former Vidant Health, enabling the organizations to establish ECU Health and collaboratively improve health care delivery for the 1.4 million residents of eastern North Carolina.

Under this agreement, the two foundations have integrated into a new, shared brand known as the ECU Health Foundation. The ECU Health Foundation was established to streamline the fundraising and stewardship operations of the ECU Medical & Health Sciences Foundation and the Vidant Health Foundation, thereby enhancing philanthropic support for ECU Health, the ECU health sciences schools and colleges and Laupus Library.
