Northwest Community Hospital Foundation:

About the Foundation

Established in 1981, the Foundation's purpose is to inspire charitable giving that advances Northwest Community Hospital's pursuit of excellence in serving patients and their families. The Foundation is led by a volunteer Board of Trustees made up of civic and business leaders from throughout the northwest suburban region.

Donors' reasons for giving are as diverse as the individuals themselves. You or a loved one may be grateful for your care. You may desire to honor or remember someone important to you. You may simply be interested in the well-being of your community. Whatever your motivation, we are here to help you invest in the health issues that interest you most. We pledge to be good stewards of your gifts and the trust they represent in Northwest Community.

As healthcare resources have become increasingly limited, your philanthropy is more important than ever in helping us advance programs and preserve the level of care our community demands and deserves.

Northwest Community Hospital Foundation offers exceptional opportunities for philanthropy that saves lives and improves communities. Whether your interest is facilities or programs, education or outreach, technology or research, the Foundation invites you to renew the dream of our founders. A dream of quality healthcare for today and for generations to come.

The Foundation is a a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Contributions are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. For more information, please contact the Foundation by e-mail or by phone at 847.618.4260.
