THE FOUNDATION
The Foundation is dedicated to improving the care and comfort of patients at St. Luke Community Healthcare by raising private funds through philanthropy and then disbursing those funds into designated programs.

The St. Luke Community Healthcare Foundation was created to help meet the needs of patients, employees and members of the community. Established in 2001, the Foundation formalized nearly 56 years of philanthropy and community giving. Through annual gifts, endowment assets and funding of major facilities, technologies and programs, the Foundation and the community members who support it help ensure St. Luke's continued leadership in health care.

Each year the Foundation works with donors to raise and invest funds that help St. Luke:

• Maintain healthcare excellence by bridging the financial gap between the increasing cost of providing services and the shrinking level of reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance;
• Purchase new equipment and make other non- reimbursable capital investments that allow St. Luke to provide patients with the latest and most technologically advanced care;
• Provide access to excellent healthcare to a culturally and economically diverse community;
• Form partnerships with other organizations to support communitywide health improvement efforts; and
• Engage in valuable, non-reimbursable medical activities, such as physician/staff training and patient/community education.
