Why give to HSHS St. Anthony's Foundation?

As a non-profit hospital, we rely on generous contributions from people just like you to help us to achieve our mission. Whether it entails welcoming our youngest patients as they open their eyes to a new world, getting a new lease on life with a joint replacement or providing groundbreaking cancer treatment close to home, you can be assured that donations to the HSHS St. Anthony's Foundation are making a difference.

Many positive investments in equipment and our facility are made possible through the generous donations of both the public and our own colleagues. 

Any way it is measured – by participation, annual giving or as a planned gift for the future – giving to HSHS St. Anthony's matters. It matters to our patients, who benefit from expanded opportunities for health care excellence. It inspires our colleagues who utilize philanthropy to provide compassionate patient services. It engages the entire HSHS St. Anthony's community, who rely on a healthy philanthropic program to sustain and build the mission of the hospital.

Established funds and ways to give to the Foundation

Contributions to "Commitment to Progress" are used to assist St. Anthony's in improving facilities or purchasing state-of-the-art technology to provide the best possible care for our patients.
Financial Assistance is a part of St. Anthony's mission to provide health care to all people, regardless of ability to pay. Financial Assistance is not bad debt; it is truly the cost of providing health care to those who have the obligation and willingness to pay, but do not have the ability to pay.
 
The HSHS St. Anthony's Foundation Grateful Patient Program is a very meaningful way to recognize and celebrate the excellence of care patients received from physicians or staff during their stay and treatment at HSHS St. Anthony’s. The Grateful Patient Program enables families to support programs and services while recognizing caregivers that have a special connection to them.

Through the Grateful Patient Program, former patients can recognize physicians and staff as a Guardian Angel. The Guardian Angel honors and pays tribute to the caregivers who made a difference in their stay at St. Anthony’s. The caregiver honored receives a letter from the Foundation Chairperson recognizing them as a Guardian Angel, along with a custom-made lapel pin.

There is no minimum amount that is required to be included in the Friends for Life. Also, it is not necessary to disclose the percent or amount of the gift. Members of the Friends for Life are recognized on a separate panel located next to the Donor Recognition Wall.
