St. Mary's Hospital Foundation

The long-standing tradition of excellence at Mercy reflects the generous support of the community through St. Mary's Hospital Foundation, the leadership of the local Governing Board, and the thousands of hours donated each year by volunteers.

Founded in 1984, the St. Mary's Hospital Foundation is the fundraising arm of the hospital that gives people the opportunity to support the hospital and health system through philanthropic support that makes many programs, services and continued outreach and education possible for the community.

Gifts to the Foundation have played a vital part in many hospital programs and services, including the Hospice program, Tree of Life, new physical therapy equipment, the ABBI machine for breast biopsies, fetal monitoring equipment, and Friends House.
