St. Luke's Magic Valley Health

Making a difference through your
giving...
WHY THE ST. LUKE'S MAGIC VALLEY HEALTH
FOUNDATION?
The mission of the SLMV Health
Foundation is to facilitate cultivation,
recognition and
stewardship of charitable gifts given to
support the medical center and the
healthcare of the community.
To effectively provide superior
healthcare services for all people
requires the constant support of
dedicated community leaders, who develop
funding for the continuous changes in
medical diagnosis.
The SLMV
Health Foundation is a non-governmental,
non-profit, charitable corporation with
its own principle fund. It has been
helping enhance healthcare in the Magic
Valley since 1978.
The Foundation is governed by a
volunteer 25 member board of trustees
comprised of community leaders who
support SLMVRMC and encourage giving to
local healthcare services.
The Foundation uses charitable gifts
to assist the St. Luke's Magic Valley
Regional Medical Center healthcare
providers and various community programs
through grants given for patients needs,
staff education, medical equipment,
capital purchases and beneficial
projects in the Magic Valley area.
The Foundation's vision of enhancing
the Magic Valley community's healthcare
through philanthropy is carried out
through its broad fundraising
operations.
The SLMV Health Foundation manages
more than 60 funds to help meet our
local healthcare needs and has been
instrumental in assisting with the Magic
Valley's present high level of
healthcare availability.
The Foundation accepts both cash and
planned gifts from donors who have the
spirit and the will to give to help meet
those healthcare needs.
Charitable gifts to the Foundation,
from community minded organizations and
individuals, help purchase medical
equipment, support preventive and
wellness programs for all ages, provide
support for patients needs, send hospital
staff to workshops to improve their
caregiver skills, and provide
scholarships to nursing students who
will stay and work in the Magic Valley.
The Foundation donated $187,780 to MVRMC
to purchase its first digital cardiac
ultrasound system to improve diagnoses
of both adult and newborn heart
patients. In all, the Foundation has
awarded more than $6 million in support
of healthcare over the past 20
years, but new needs emerge every year.
