We’re here for health.

Founded in 1988, the Foundation’s mission is to provide opportunities for community-based healthcare support and to promote Glencoe Regional Health. The Foundation is the fundraising vehicle for Glencoe Regional Health, in addition to supporting health and well-being needs in the Glencoe area. We are a 501(c)(3) public charity, and gifts from donors receive the highest possible charitable tax deduction. If you’re passionate about health and local healthcare, we’re the right partner for you.
