The Foundation

St. Mary’s Medical Center Foundation is a private, not-for-profit 501c(3) tax-exempt affiliate of St. Mary’s Medical Center. The Foundation’s role is to assist in providing resources needed for the changing healthcare needs of the surrounding communities through raising and distributing funds to maintain vital medical center programs. As declared in the mission statement, "The Foundation will not only provide long term financial support for sustaining and enhancing St. Mary’s Mission, but also community awareness of quality, creative and cost effective programs that promote wellness as well as treat illness."

St. Mary’s has built a tradition of faith, hope, healing, service and, most of all, the tradition of caring. The basis of the St. Mary’s Medical Center Foundation is the desire to build on this tradition through the further expansion and growth of St. Mary’s healthcare mission.
