Mission
THE METHODIST HOSPITAL FOUNDATION ("FOUNDATION") IS A PUBLIC CHARITY WHICH SERVES AS THE FUND-RAISING ARM OF METHODIST HOSPITAL. THE FOUNDATION'S CHARITABLE MISSION IS TO RAISE FUNDS AND PROVIDE GRANTS TO SUPPORT THE DELIVERY OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES AT METHODIST HOSPITAL AND WITHIN THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. THE FOUNDATION ALLOWS METHODIST HOSPITAL TO CONTINUE ITS STEWARDSHIP OF ITS COMMUNITY.
