Like many other parts of the greater Asheville area, our campus was severely impacted by Hurricane Helene.
We are deeply grateful for the care, concern, and prayers of so many. We are providing daily updates on the Deerfield Facebook page as appropriate and encourage you to follow that site for more frequent updates and information. In the meantime, please know that Deerfield is doing what it does best—joining together as one community with great heart and care.

Support Our Employees
After several days of waiting with bated breath, we can confidently confirm: All of our Deerfield employees are accounted for and safe. As we see them return to work, there are lots of hugs and much joy, but many of them bear the heavy burden of loss – loss of property and treasured belongings, navigating childcare and school closures, living without ready access to water, electricity, communications. If you would like to help our Foundation offer financial assistance to team members who need help, please consider making a gift to the Shirley Burnette Employee Support Fund.
