Memorial Hospital is committed to improving the health of the community we serve.
The hospital is a nonprofit organization that gratefully accepts donations. Below
is a list of some of the most common funds donors may support. We also work individually
with donors to help them discover how they would like to support our mission. There
are a number of ways you can help.
Area of Greatest Need
Allow us to put your donation to good use in the area where it is needed most at
the time of your gift.
Healthy Kids Annual Giving Campaign
This campaign raises money for equipment needed in the Outpatient Clinic, Emergency
Department and Family Birth Center because these are where Memorial treats more
than 3,500 uninsured and underinsured children each year.
Cancer Patient Fund
This fund benefits Memorial Hospital patients undergoing treatment for cancer. Donations
directly benefit the patients and their families and help them to pay rent, utilities,
medication costs, and other essentials. The Cancer Patient Help Fund assists patients
with their financial concerns, so they can focus on healing.
Medical Education Fund
For the past 60 years, Memorial has been committed to offering medical students,
interns and residents with a first-class medical education program. This fund will
be used to purchase equipment needed for the Hospital's simulation lab and other
educational needs. Please contact us for a current list of the items needed. A successful
Medical Education Program is imperative to Memorial's future success. This fund
helps us to have the resources we need to attract and maintain the highest caliber
of students.
White Rose Hospice
White Rose Hospice provides care and counseling for the terminally ill and their
families. The medically-directed hospice team of health professionals and volunteers
is dedicated to protecting the dignity of the patient and providing support to the
family, while administering care in the patient's home. The hospice team assists
the patient in becoming more comfortable and free of pain, in addition to assisting
the family through this difficult time. Hospice is a way to deal realistically with
a terminal disease. It offers the hope of dignity and comfort as nature takes its
course. Patients who use White Rose Hospice live in the York County area, have a
terminal illness and are no longer receiving treatment towards a cure. They are
expected to live less than six months and have chosen to receive emotional support
as well as pain and symptom control. A hospice nurse is available to answer questions,
discuss concerns, conduct a home visit and provide support on a 24-hour basis as
necessary.
Diabetes Education
Diabetes is a condition that effects millions of Americans. To educate York County
children and adults about the disease, The Diabetes Center at Memorial offers a
number of classes and resources. In addition to a Self-Management Program and a
Support Group, Memorial offers Cooking Classes, Gestational Diabetes Class, Healthy
Eating Programs and much more. The Diabetes Center also holds an annual diabetes
event with a creative theme and a summer camp for children with diabetes and their
families. The focus of all of these programs is to show people with diabetes that
living with the disease does not have to limit their quality of life.
Capital Fund
To continue to be on the cutting edge of advances in health care, Memorial Hospital
invests part of its resources each year into purchasing new equipment. There are
always additional items that cannot be funded through our capital budget that would
improve our services.
Endowment Fund
Donors may choose to provide for the future of Memorial Hospital by contributing
to a fund that continues to grow its principle, while providing immediate support
through investment payments.
Our Mission
Memorial Hospital is committed to promoting, improving and enhancing the health
and well-being of the community we serve.
