About the Memorial Foundation

Memorial Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) corporation that supports the purposes of Memorial Group, Inc. and Protestant Memorial Medical Center, Inc. Memorial Foundation is committed to building healthy, vibrant communities in Memorial Hospital’s service area now and for generations to come. Our focus will be placed on programs impacting mental and behavioral health, particularly those that support youth and families. The goal is to achieve lasting, tangible effects including improved health metrics, reduced needs for crisis intervention and services, and more stable families and communities. The foundation strives to be a partner in our community, valuing and supporting all people.

In addition to community giving focused on mental health, Memorial Foundation will continue to prioritize support for the hospital, its staff and patients so that it is a model community hospital; giving in support of emergent community needs; and providing support for local healthcare professionals.
