Vision
- To enhance the quality of healthcare for the residents of Greeley and Wallace Counties, primarily through the support of the providers, facilities and programs in both counties associated with Greeley County Health Services.
- To support the healthcare activities of additional agencies and groups in Greeley and Wallace Counties and the surrounding areas.
Our History
The Greeley-Wallace County Healthcare Foundation was formed in 2001, as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, to support the healthcare needs of the residents of Greeley and Wallace Counties and surrounding areas. In the last eleven years, the Foundation has supported healthcare career scholarships, construction of a new clinic in Sharon Springs, a bi-annual cancer support fundraiser, and other benefits for equipment and program needs.
The Healthcare Foundation models the spirit of the “patient first” concepts of Greeley County Health Services. We hope to bring support to the many dedicated employees who support our patients through countless acts of service.
Our Goals
Greeley-Wallace County Healthcare Foundation board members are committed to this effort. They are joined in this commitment by the Greeley County Health Services board members. All board members from each organization have made financial commitments to the Keeping Trusted Care, Close to Home campaign.
Our goal is to build an endowment through current and planned gifts while continuing to seek funding to address immediate ongoing needs. It creates a future, sustainabile funding source for our health system. We wish to continue, and enhance, the high quality of life we have in our rural communities. A rural health system is critically important to that future. We plan to acknowledge our donors through the creation of a Legacy Society recognition program.
Legacy Society
Participation in the Healthcare Foundation Legacy Society is really quite simple. We are seeking cash, planned gifts or bequests identified specifically for the Foundation’s endowment. An endowment is a permanent fund created to help meet the goals of a charitable organization. The principal of the fund remains intact over time and the interest or investment proceeds create a source of income for the Foundation.
Legacy Society Members have gifted or pledged amounts of $5,000 or greater and have informed the Foundation of their wish to be included in the Society. Society members will be recognized in a permanent donor recognition display. If the Donor so wishes, they may remain anonymous.
