MERCER FOUNDATION FOR HEALTH
IS A 501 (C) (3) CORPORATION |
| The Mercer Foundation for Health was founded in 1990 as a Not-for-Profit IRS 501 (C) (3) Corporation. Since its founding, the Foundation has aided the hospital by giving financial aid in the form of equipment and property. As a 501 (C) (3) corporation, the Mercer Foundation for Health is allowed to receive tax-free contributions and the contributors will be permitted to deduct the contributions on their personal tax forms. |

| MERCER COUNTY CARES |
The Mercer County Hospital opened its doors to its first patient February 1, 1950. The nearly $800,000 building was erected through combined efforts of a visionary Mercer County Board and local residents who contributed cash, farms, and property for its construction. For example, a $15,000 gift equipped the surgical unit, over four hundred acres of prime farm ground were donated, and a $50,000 bequest was left to the hospital.
Our ancestors knew that supporting a hospital in Mercer County was good for the patient, the family, and the well being of the entire Mercer County area. Today, supporting the hospital is accomplished by the work of the Mercer Foundation for Health. For more information on how to make a donation to the Foundation, click here. |
