Foundation For Health

Since its inception in 1986, The FOUNDATION FOR HEALTH has served the Northern Hills Communities of South Dakota in a variety of ways.

FUNDING: The foundation has continued to be independently funded through small and large donations from numerous sources. These donations have provided the pathway for the foundation to generously fund numerous community projects. This has been accomplished both as being the sole contributor and through partnerships with other organizations.

PURPOSE: The Foundation for Health is independent from Lead-Deadwood Regional Hospital, but still is strongly devoted to the hospital mission, assisting financially with hospital needs to improve local medical access for community members. Beyond the hospital, the mission of the foundation also includes financially supporting general community safety, and needs of well-being for individuals.

PROJECTS: Since 1986, the foundation has donated to many community projects, organizations, and individuals. Some examples of assistance to our community include, helping individuals fighting cancer through our annual Tough Enough to Wear Pink Campaign Campaign Funds with the Days of 76 Rodeo, donating helmets for young skiers for local ski programs, matching funds for new ambulances for the Lead-Deadwood Regional Hospital Ambulance Service, offerings of community education and preventive medical testing, donations of Physical Therapy education and equipment, among many others.

CONTACTING US: The Foundation for Health has many ways you can donate your time, talents, or donations to continue with these useful and needed missions.
