To Our Friends & Neighbors

You live and work in this area because you prefer the quality of life offered to you and your family. You like the pace here. You like having everything you need close to home. Our staff at Madelia Health has meaningful connections with the people we care for and the communities we serve. Our work becomes personal when we provide care to our neighbors and friends. Each gift to the Foundation ensures that our community’s healthcare needs are being met locally, for now and for the future.

About Us

The Madelia Health Foundation (formerly Madelia Community Hospital Foundation) was established in 2004. At that time, the Madelia Community Hospital and Clinic made a $100,000 donation and the Foundation was incorporated as a 501(C)3 non-profit charitable organization that same year. Led by a volunteer Board of Directors and an Executive Director, the Foundation has raised over $2,000,000 helping us to remain the strong local provider of health care services for our region.

In 2010, the Foundation established a permanently restricted endowment fund which when fully funded, will generate income to ensure the Foundation’s continued ability to support the needs of Madelia Health.

Madelia Health Foundation has two major fundraisers which support various projects, equipment and initiatives. One, the Fall Gala, (held every other year) and the other, the Golf Outing held each year in early June. Although the Foundation has added several other giving opportunities and community events in recent years, these signature events are key to providing financial support for local healthcare.

In collaboration with philanthropy, fundraising and service, Madelia Health Foundation exists to support continual improvement of healthcare for the patients and communities we serve.
