About the Foundation

Together WE Make a Difference!

Welcome to Graham Hospital Foundation, the fundraising pillar for Graham Health System.

The Foundation Board cares about maintaining excellence in health care and meeting tomorrow’s healthcare challenges. Foundation Board members and donors share a common dream that their children and their children’s children will have access to the same superior healthcare they have had over their lives. That dream moves closer to reality with every new donation.

Graham Hospital Foundation was established as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation with the purpose of increasing community awareness and financial support for Graham Health System. Our mission is to enhance the quality of life through philanthropy for those served by Graham Health System. GHS is made up of ten Medical Group Clinics serving patients throughout Central and Western Illinois, with operations in five counties: Fulton, Knox, Mason, McDonough and Peoria.

Graham Health System is a true asset as the cornerstone of health care delivery in our area. For over 100 years, families in Canton and Fulton and surrounding counties have had access to a comprehensive array of medical services from emergency care to surgical services, from obstetrical services to nursing home care, from inpatient skilled care to home medical equipment, and for a myriad of other services. 

Graham has developed into an integrated delivery system, employing over 900 dedicated staff members, including 140 physicians and advanced practice providers, along with a team of committed volunteers. The system serves a patient base in central and western Illinois. The Graham Hospital Foundation is governed by a Board of volunteers, who oversee its overall direction. The Foundation's day-today operations are managed by the Director, Vice President, and President, who also coordinate all meetings of the Board and its sub-committees, ensuring smooth execution of the Foundation's initiatives.

Your participation at any level helps OUR community. Whether it be volunteering your time, attending one of our fundraising events, setting up a memorial for loved one, or to directly donate your gift.  Any one of these precious gifts helps to support our state-of-the-art facilities. Graham continues to strive in offering the best medical care possible to OUR community. Each dollar raised helps to assist Graham in purchasing medical equipment, updating our medical technology or adding additional medical services.

The Foundation is dedicated to maintaining the promise that Graham was founded on, “Quality Care for All”.
