		The Mercy Health Foundation is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to soliciting, receiving and capably managing donations that support programs, services and technology at Mercy Medical Center. The monies are managed and distributed by the Foundation board of directors. Helping patients and families, neighbors and friends through donations to the foundation touches lives and leaves a legacy for the future.   Philanthropic support helps sustain our ability to serve and promote healthy lives and perpetuates the excellence our community desires. The most advanced services and the most modern and complete treatment facilities require the margin of excellence afforded only by private charitable giving, and indeed, your caring response will touch our entire community.   The Mercy Health Foundation provides the ability to build permanent funds for health care needs in our community far into the future.   The foundation provides multiple options for donors in order to meet their financial needs as well as charitable interests. Gifts can be made through contributions of cash, real property, securities, personal property, gifts in kind, bequests, charitable remainder annuities and unitrusts. Your attorney or financial advisor can work with the foundation to help you meet your needs. Thanks to our generous community, our past development efforts have provided funding for: ◊  Care for the Uninsured ◊  Life Saving Medical Technology ◊  Cardiology Equipment ◊  Surgical Equipment ◊  Radiology Equipment ◊  Patient Beds ◊  Patient Education ◊  Cancer Center & Patient Library ◊  Emergency Medical Equipment ◊  Ambulances ◊  Healthy Community Initiatives ◊  Endowments
				The miracles of medicine are possible because of life saving equipment and caring staff to operate it. More than $1.6 million is needed each year for medical equipment at Mercy Regional Medical Center. This equipment becomes a trusted friend at the bedside providing diagnosis, treatments and monitoring when patients are ill. From newborns to the elderly, medical equipment can provide important data to the caregivers. More than 120,000 medical procedures are performed each year needing advanced medical technology. Next year Mercy will be in need of new patient monitors, new infusion pumps, new diagnostic imaging equipment and essential basic items such as stretchers. Will you join us in helping to purchase life-saving equipment for residents of Southwest Colorado?
