Mercy Health Foundation Southwest Missouri/Kansas is here to help meet the health care needs of those we serve in Southwest Missouri and Southeast Kansas. The Foundation raises funds to improve patient care programs, fund lifesaving equipment and provide resources that benefit patients at Mercy Hospitals and Clinics in Joplin and Carthage, MO, and Pittsburg, Columbus, and Galena, KS.

Mercy Health Foundation Southwest Missouri/Kansas is a nonprofit organization. We are dependent on the donations and support of generous foundations, corporations and caring individuals like you. Your gifts to Mercy Health Foundation Southwest Missouri/Kansas help bring the care and service Mercy is known for to patients throughout Joplin, Carthage, Pittsburg, Columbus, and Galena. 

When you donate to Mercy Health Foundation, you support care programs and essential services for those in our community who need it most. That’s right. Every dollar you give advances health care right here at home.

Our Focus

Patients in Joplin, Carthage, Pittsburg, Columbus, Galena, and surrounding areas should be able to access health care services conveniently and confidently.

With your help, Mercy Health Foundation Southwest Missouri/Kansas benefits telemedicine programs that leverage technology to remove geographic barriers and allow rural patients to see primary and specialty care providers without leaving their community.

Recent support of new 3D mammography equipment and digital upgrades to the mobile mammography unit demonstrates the Foundation’s commitment to making the most advanced treatment options available to all patients.
