Your partners in philanthropy
At Gundersen Medical Foundation, we’re committed to improving the lives of our patients and our community through medical education, research and community health outreach. Our work is possible thanks to many of you—our partners in philanthropy.
How donations make a difference
Your generous donations help change lives through investments in medical education and cutting-edge research, as well as other important areas across Gundersen. Whether it’s the most advanced treatment option available because of research, compassionate care by a physician trained in one of our residency programs or state-of-the-art equipment, your gifts have a powerful cumulative impact on the people and families throughout our region.
Giving to Gundersen
Your donations to the Gundersen Medical Foundation help support the future of healthcare in our community by ensuring we have life-saving equipment and treatment, support for patients and their families when an unexpected illness occurs, and training for tomorrow’s healthcare providers.
Valuable gifts are not always monetary. You can share your story with our team and recognize the people and efforts behind our compassionate and impactful care. Hearing your story motivates our care teams to do what they do each day.
