Your gift, big or small, can make a difference
in the lives of those we serve.

The Paynesville Area Health Care Foundation originated in 2001 to support our health care system through philanthropy.

The Paynesville Area Health Care Foundation welcomes you to participate in our projects to effectively address health care needs within our health care system that ordinary budget dollars cannot cover. Outside financial resources are needed in order to ensure that top quality health care services are delivered in our communities today and long into the future.

Philanthropy has provided:
The Meditation Room, Meditation Garden, and a Reflections Room. Thanks to all the generous contributions from so many. We invite you to stop at our main campus in Paynesville anytime to view and enjoy the beautiful garden that is bringing so much enjoyment to our patients, residents and staff! The natural elements in our garden foster an environment of peace, healing and tranquility for all to enjoy.

Visionary Mission: The Paynesville Area Health Care Foundation cultivates, invests and dispenses charitable donations in order to provide a continuous source of funds that ensure the ongoing advancement and availability of top quality local health care in all communities served.

How Can I CONTRIBUTE?

Gifts can be given with a designation to a specific project or placed in the area of greatest need which will assist in completing the most urgent needs. Supporting the Foundation’s mission can be accomplished in a number of ways, such as cash donations, real estate or stock gifts. Planned gifts leave a legacy to you by the way of bequeathing gifts from your will, life insurance policies, pension plans or IRAs.
