Partners in Health
Partners in Health is a giving society of committed individuals who understand
the importance of having a comprehensive hospital in the center of their
community.
As a not-for-profit organization, Methodist Hospital relies on charitable
contributions to keep the hospital at the forefront of medical excellence.
Annual donations help strengthen the quality of life for our patients,
their families, and their loved ones.
By making a contribution to the Methodist Hospital Foundation and joining
Partners in Health, you support the growth of your local hospital while
touching, and saving, the lives of people in our community. Your generosity
is an investment in the skilled and compassionate care that is the hallmark
of Methodist Hospital.
Enhancing Life in Our Community
Over the years, the inspirational generosity of our donors has transformed
the hospital in the following ways:
- North and Berger Patient Towers
- Technology including CT scanners, catheterization and bi-plane machines
for cardiac and stroke patients, and a Linear Accelerator for advanced
cancer treatment
- Health education classes and clinics for seniors, expectant mothers, and
cancer patients and their families
- Maternal Child Center and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
- Rehabilitation Facilities
Methodist Hospital stands ready to meet today's healthcare challenges
with additions and enhancements that will transform the hospital. The
future of healthcare depends on ongoing charitable support from the community.
