Foundation

Purpose

The foundation's purpose is to support the hospital in its mission in the community of providing quality health services and promoting healthy lifestyles. The foundation, an IRS 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, does this by providing financial support through procuring and managing gifts, bequests, and grants.

Undoubtedly, health care will always be changing for the better. This means the hospital will always be looking to improve the health care it can feasibly offer to the community. Jones Regional largely depends on the Foundation to help with these improvements. Through donor dollars, the Jones Regional Medical Center Foundation has purchased equipment, funded educational programs, renovated hospital departments, added new services, memorialized loved ones, and more.

Contributions

There are many ways to provide support to the hospital through the foundation:

  • gifts of cash
  • annual gifts
  • memorial gifts
  • honorary gifts
  • major gifts
  • stocks and securities
  • bequests
  • real estate
  • gift annuities
  • life insurance
  • trusts
  • other planned gifts

Donations are tax-deductible and donors may specify whether their gift funds a specific health care need or the general fund. The foundation' s board of directors applies general fund gifts to support hospital programs most in need. Gifts of all sizes are appreciated.

Donor Recognition

The foundation greatly appreciates donors' generosity. One of the ways it shows appreciation is through donor recognition. The foundation's donor wall shows donors' names at the level they have given over a lifetime. As donors continue their support and reach the next level, their names are moved accordingly on the wall. Donors are recognized at their current level in the hospital's newsletter.

Thanks to donors generosity, our community continues to have access to the latest technology possible for our area and well-trained staff at the hospital. Donors receive much satisfaction from knowing Jones Regional accomplishes great things with their gifts.

Outpatient Services & Procedures
"There's something about that one-on-one here. Even as an outpatient, they make a point to get to know you the minute you walk in the door. It's small enough here that you know them all by name, yet they're all very professional. You can tell they genuinely want to help you. They have really good communication. They make you feel so relaxed and comfortable that you can talk to them about your pain and not be embarrassed. If you can't do that with your caregiver then you're not going to get anywhere."
