Foundation

Health is a gift we often don’t appreciate….until we lose it. When you lose your good health, your life and the lives of those you love change. Each year, hundreds of people, including your family, friends, and neighbors, seek help, healing and hope at MCH.

Please consider giving a gift to the Mendota Community Hospital Foundation.

To provide an excellent standard of care, the hospital brings together talented, dedicated healthcare professionals and advanced technology. The Mendota Community Hospital Foundation seeks “friends” to help maintain this standard of excellence. With support, MCH can accomplish great things. Gifts from individuals and organizations are vital to the continuing success of MCH. Please consider giving a gift to the Mendota Community Hospital Foundation.

There are many ways to give to MCH. Planned giving, includes such items as wills, bequests, revocable trusts, charitable remainder uni-trust, life insurance, etc. Planned giving usually requires legal counsel to assist the donor. Annual giving is generally provided each year from donors who make gifts in the form of cash or check. Gifts of Remembrance are a special way of marking events or occasions while supporting MCH.

MCH must rely on private donations to stay on the cutting edge of service and technology. Your gift of $25.00, 50.00 or more will help the MCH Foundation support patient care, purchase new equipment, fund projects, support staff, and make available patient education. All of these items assist the hospital in serving you better. Please realize that every gift is significant, no matter how large or small.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT.
