Mercy Health Foundation Springfield is an internal supporting organization that aligns with the strategic and philanthropic direction of Mercy Springfield.
Mercy Health Foundation Springfield formed in 2001 thanks to a generous donation from J.F. Johnson. Mr. Johnson was a conservative man but when it came to helping others, he gave all he could, even after he passed away in 1999 at the age of 95. The former MFA Milling Company manager, cattle farmer and St. John’s Advisory Board Chairman left a generous amount to St. John’s for nursing education, helping many students each year with the J.F. Johnson Nursing Scholarship Fund.
Today, gifts to Mercy Health Foundation Springfield help enhance patient programs, fund life-saving equipment and capital projects and support charity care programs and services for those who need it most. Our charitable efforts in support of the hospital enhance the healthcare opportunities for the Springfield community, as well as throughout Southwest Missouri.
We are dependent on the donations and support of generous foundations, corporations, and caring individuals like you. When you donate to Mercy Health Foundation, you support critical projects in our community. Every dollar you give advances health care right here at home.
Women’s and Children’s: Supports a comprehensive range of services to meet women’s unique health needs, including high-risk breast care, maternity care, low-intervention births through our midwifery program and care for our tiniest patients through NICU and pediatric services.
Cancer Care: Provides access to advanced diagnostic capabilities, therapies, leading-edge treatments and compassionate care, close to home. Funding to the cancer care program also provides patient assistance, such as gas cards, transportation and lodging for those in need, as well as resources for support groups.
Charitable Care: Provides continued support for the Co-Worker Crisis fund, McAuley Prescription Assistance fund, MSU Care Clinic and our Hospice program in partnership with Integrity Home Care & Hospice – Springfield
Area of Greatest Need: Provides unrestricted support for high-priority needs, such as state-of-the-art equipment and technology within Mercy Hospital Springfield.
Mercy’s compassionate care helped Mark and his family through his cancer diagnosis and journey to healing.
Tianna Legere scheduled her mammogram appointment on the mobile mammography bus because it was convenient. This screening revealed areas of concern that led to a diagnosis of breast cancer and lifesaving treatments. Because of her early diagnosis and intervention, Tianna is now cancer-free.
Striving to continue the legacy of Catherine McAuley, Women with a Mission giving society combines resources, vision and passion for helping others to support and improve health care in our communities.
