Community Benefit

About the Foundation

The Dubuque Mercy Health Foundation provides philanthropic support to Mercy Medical Center through contributions from local businesses, corporations, employees, physicians and individuals. The foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors who ensure fiscal responsibility while overseeing the provision of funds for much needed equipment, programs and services to the people who enter our doors.

Mercy Medical Center established the Dubuque Mercy Health Foundation to make a difference for the hospital, the families for whom we care and the community we serve.  Hardly a day goes by without someone in need approaching Mercy Medical Center for special assistance that often goes beyond health care and beyond our ability to meet without additional support. To address these needs and other services of our organization, we look to the generosity of those in our community through our annual campaign.
