Contributions to the unrestricted fund can provide the greatest benefit in the shortest time frame, allowing the Foundation to respond creatively and flexibly. Donating to the Southwest Memorial Hospital Foundation is a caring community investment that will only become more valuable with time.
Over the last several years the Foundation has awarded over $75,000 in Cancer Care Grants to individuals living in Montezuma County. The $1,000 grants can be used to assist in the everyday needs for cancer patients and their families. The burden of cancer can affect individuals in many ways and aside from medical costs, funds can assist with almost any need including transportation, living expenses, travel, housing or other related needs.
The purpose of the Southwest Memorial Hospital Foundation is to support Southwest Health System, Inc. in providing high-quality, accessible health care for the people of Montezuma County and surrounding areas, and to assist in meeting its need to recruit and retain physicians and other medical providers, obtain new equipment and furnishings, continue to provide effective and efficient emergency care, and other services in partnership with the hospital.
Founded in 1992, the Southwest Memorial Hospital Foundation formed as a resource to residents in Montezuma and Dolores Counties. The Foundation has through the years held events that bring community members together and often to showcase the best of what our Southwest region has to offer. With the funds generated from community held events the Foundation has been able to support needs of Southwest Memorial Hospital as well as provide beneficial patient assistance.
