Our Foundation

Mercy Health Foundation Fort Smith provides philanthropic support for Mercy Hospital Fort Smith –  an acute care hospital with over 300 licensed beds and delivers quality care close to home. The Foundation not only helps Mercy Hospital Fort Smith to provide exceptional health care to the residents in the River Valley, but also supports critical access hospitals in the communities of Booneville, Ozark, Paris and Waldron, Arkansas.

The health care needs of our community will always outpace our resources. Your support will help ensure Mercy Health Foundation Fort Smith continues to touch the lives of families, friends and neighbors in our community. The simplest health care initiatives begin by caring for our neighbors.  When you choose to invest in Mercy Health Foundation you make a lasting impact on the health of our community.

Our Focus

Mercy Health Foundation Fort Smith focuses on improving community health care, enhancing patient programs, funding life-saving equipment and supporting capital projects.

Mercy’s providers offer advanced treatment for the most challenging health concerns while keeping patients close to home, but they can’t do it alone.

Through the generosity of donors like you, the Foundation supports patients at every stage of life. From providing life-saving equipment for our tiniest patients in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to helping our low-income seniors maintain their independence through medical alert technology. Patients facing the end of life receive medical supplies, comfort items and spiritual guidance.
