Mercer Foundation for Health
Our Mission
The mission of Mercer Foundation for Health is to assist in providing the best possible healthcare for the people of Mercer County. The primary focus is to acquire financial support for Mercer County Hospital in the form of gifts, deferred gifts, estate planning, grants, endowments, and bequests.
The Mercer Foundation for Health was founded in 1990 as a not-for-profit IRS 501 (C)(3) Corporation. The foundation has supported the hospital by giving financial aid in the form of equipment and property.
The Foundation helps the community to become knowledgeable and supportive of its ongoing challenges to keep pace with advancing standards of healthcare and in the acquisition of associated equipment and facilities. It also provides educational opportunities and builds partnerships with the people it serves. Since 1993, Mercer Foundation for Health has provided $1,317,000 in funds to the hospital for remodeling, equipment, and upgrading of some rooms/areas within the hospital. The citizens of Mercer County generated these funds, through supporting the Foundation. It is hoped that this tradition of giving continues within this campaign. By its very nature, the campaign to enhance and expand Mercer County Hospital’s quality healthcare services is a community effort. Community support will enable our hospital to remain independent, viable, and to provide quality care.
