Our Story
Rooted in the Legacy of The Snyder Foundation
The Snyder Foundation was born from a singular, powerful vision of equity in healthcare. Founded in 1982 by Dr. Evelyn Snyder, the foundation began as a mobile clinic serving rural communities that had been forgotten by the modern medical system.
First Circle Medical Center continues this profound legacy today. What started as a small foundation has grown into a world-class medical institution, yet our core remains unchanged: providing dignity and high-quality medical services to those who need it most, regardless of their financial circumstances.
We believe that health is the first circle of a thriving life. Without it, the circles of family, work, and community cannot be complete.
40+ Years of Impact
Since the Snyder Foundation's inception, we have served over 2 million patients across the region, focusing on those living below the poverty line.
