Munson Healthcare Regional Foundation and Paul Oliver Memorial Hospital Foundation enjoy long traditions of generous support from community members — support that continues to advance health care services in northern Michigan.

The foundations have a dual role: Providing additional funds for health services, and helping community members sustain or enhance programs that match their values, allowing them to make a real and significant difference in the lives of others.

The Paul Oliver Memorial Hospital Foundation voted in May 2007 to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Paul Oliver Memorial Hospital (POMH), and thus Munson Healthcare. The POMH Foundation still has a separate Board, but shares the staff of the Munson Healthcare Regional Foundation.

Projects supported by community donations have a profound effect on the lives of those who need those services. Recent examples include the Smith Family Breast Health Center, Munson's state-of-the-art Emergency Department, the Munson Hospice House, Munson Manor Hospitality House, and expanded technology and services at Paul Oliver Memorial Hospital.

Through a network of dedicated volunteers and staff, the Foundations raise, manage, and return funds to the communities served by Munson Healthcare for improved access to health care.

By integrating the philanthropic activities of Munson Healthcare, the Foundations help its affiliates meet the future, unprecedented demands for health care services in northern Michigan. Philanthropy plays a prominent role in the future growth of Munson Healthcare.

Foundation initiatives have helped people in Antrim, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, and Leelanau counties. Your contribution can make a significant difference in the health and well-being of your family, friends, and neighbors.

Many options for giving exist, including cash and pledges, endowment funds, bequests, life insurance, charitable gift annuities, in-kind gifts of personal property, planned giving, one-time gifts, and multiple-year gifts.

The Foundations believe living in health should be the norm for every person, in every community in the region. To make a gift or learn more about the Foundation’s fund-raising initiatives, please call (231) 935-6482 or (231) 352-2266.
