The Investing in Our Future Endowment was created through a commitment from ECU Health to the ECU Health Foundation. ECU Health made this commitment to further demonstrate its dedication towards alignment as a clinically integrated, academic health care organization.
The vision of the endowment is to create a perpetual opportunity to advance ECU Health and the schools and colleges of the health sciences at East Carolina University to improve the health, education and well-being of eastern North Carolina and beyond.
