About us

Established in 1988, CHI Health St. Mary's Foundation is dedicated to enhancing community well-being and delivering top-tier healthcare. Through fundraising and development, the Foundation supports St. Mary's mission and vision, ensuring continuous quality care. We offer a grateful patient program to acknowledge "shining star" caregivers and manage an endowment fund crucial for future healthcare needs, patient care, and staff well-being. Your gifts support local healthcare by funding programs and services that don't always fit within our operating and capital budgets. Gifts support patients in need, help purchase equipment for our facility, and enable staff to attend training and seminars.

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.
