About Us
Sacred Heart Medical Center Foundation helps the community provide charitable support for Sacred Heart Medical Center. Established in 1962, the Foundation builds on the hospital's long history of partnering with area residents, businesses, and human services organizations to help provide quality healthcare locally. Partners include grateful patients and their families, businesses, as well as hospital employees and supporters in the community who want to ensure that quality medical care is available to everyone, regardless of ability to pay. The Foundation supports more than 100 clinical and community healthcare programs. Some are important collaborations with human service organizations. Others are major clinical departments that save lives every day through the miracles of medicine. Others are small community services that improve the daily lives of children, mothers, seniors and others with special needs; these services do big things on small budgets. The Foundation’s giving programs allow the medical and social services professionals of Sacred Heart to focus on the important task of healing, not fundraising. Sacred Heart Medical Center is a not-for-profit hospital. The hospital reinvests any earnings above costs in the healthcare needs of the community. Sacred Heart serves everyone with the same level of compassionate quality care, regardless of ability to pay. The hospital turns no one away. This commitment, coupled with an exceptional medical staff and leading-edge healthcare programs, has produced the highest standard of care and earned Sacred Heart national recognition. Among other awards, Sacred Heart has received a 5-star rating on the Cleverley and Associates “Community Value Index,” a measure that rates a hospital on its overall financial performance, costs and charges. However, the cost of providing quality medical care to a growing population requires financial support beyond the hospital’s means. Programs that supplement clinical care, but are no less vital, are often not covered by insurance. Sacred Heart assumes a substantial share of the costs of care for our most vulnerable community members. That’s why your compassion and your commitment to supporting healthcare in our community have become increasingly important. We look forward to assisting you in exploring how to give to the Sacred Heart program that has particular meaning for you.
