Harvest Moon Barn Dance **Updated** Health Care Careers Scholarship Program What is the River Falls Area Hospital Foundation?The River Falls Area Hospital Foundation* is a local nonprofit organization established in 1978 to raise funds to support the River Falls Area Hospital and other community health initiatives. A contribution to the River Falls Area Hospital Foundation is an investment in your health and your community. Contributions are used to:
* Formerly the Kinnickinnic Valley Health and Education foundation Why does the hospital need my support?River Falls Area Hospital is a nonprofit organization that reinvests its profits to improve its services and facilities. Many of the programs that work best to improve health are not covered by insurance companies. When a service is covered, reimbursement is often less than what it cost the hospital to provide the care. In addition, more and more of our patients are uninsured and unable to pay for the care they receive, resulting in unprecedented increases in charity care write-offs and bad debt. Collectively, these forces have decreased the resources available to help the hospital grow and respond to the needs of this region. Now, more than ever, the hospital needs a hospital foundation to help provide top level health care and preventive health care progrms. As a nonprofit hospital, we are committed to serving every person who walks through our door, regardless of their insurance coverage or financial resources. The River Falls Area Hospital Foundation provides critical financial support to the hospital, helping us maintain the highest levels of care and service to all of our patients, whatever their situation. How can I make a difference?Your tax-deductible contribution will help to secure improved health care for our entire community for many decades to come. There are many ways to give:
The River Falls Area Hospital Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All contributions to the foundation are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. The Foundation occasionally calls residents of the region to inform them of giving opportunities. Questions about these calls should be directed to foundation director Heather Logelin at 426-4503.
