Supporting quality health care for our community since 1977
The Benedictine Health Foundation Staff and Board of Directors work together to raise funds in a variety of ways including our special events – the annual Gala, Golf Tournament, Sample, Sip and Savor, and Bike for Cancer Care, and through our Annual Appeal, Planned Gifts Program, and the Major Gifts Program designated for capital health care projects, and to enhance specialty services and medical technology.
Why Give
Donations to the Benedictine Health Foundation allow the Foundation to support quality, compassionate health care services. Your donations help us to provide financial assistance for cancer patients undergoing treatment through the Rosemary D. Gruner Memorial Cancer Fund, to support free or low-cost medical and social programs to improve the quality of life for people in our community, to continue pastoral care, and support educational opportunities for health care professionals in response to our community’s most pressing needs.
