Help bring a new X-Ray Unit to St. Francis Memorial!

Help Replace St. Francis Memorial Hospital's Aging X-Ray Unit

Announcing our 2026 Tree of Lights Campaign!

On the farm, anything can happen.

Carol and Joe Van Massenhoven know that better than most.

After decades of raising a family and working their farm in Brudenell, they’ve experienced their share of unexpected injuries. When those moments come, they’re grateful to know that St. Francis Memorial Hospital is close to home.

We need your help this holiday season. The X-ray machine at St. Francis Memorial Hospital is approaching the end of its life and needs to be replaced. The government does not provide the funds needed to replace this vital piece of equipment.

This holiday season, your gift, no matter the size, can help bring new imaging technology to our hospital and strengthen care for patients right here at home.

The Power of Giving Together

Perhaps donors think smaller gifts have less of an impact. Large donations make the news and names go on buildings, after all. But what happens when a collective group of supporters provide regular, sustainable donations, in any size, to a charity that they love?

A Family Tradition that

Keeps Giving

When Helen and Bruno (Ottavio) Rossi signed up for the Friends of St. Francis Charity Golf Tournament 22 years ago, they likely never imagined that they were starting a family tradition that would span generations.

A New Sign. A Big Goal.

A new sign has been unveiled as the Foundation launches a community-wide effort to help address critical healthcare needs at St. Francis Memorial Hospital, Valley Manor and Madawaska Valley Hospice Palliative Care.

Our Big Goal

Did You Know?

The St. Francis Valley Healthcare Foundation accepts gifts of publicly traded securities, including stocks and mutual funds.

Donating securities directly to charity can be one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. Depending on your circumstances, you may eliminate capital gains tax on the donated securities while receiving a charitable tax receipt for their fair market value. It's a meaningful way to support local healthcare while maximizing the impact of your generosity.

Planning a year-end gift? Start the process early. Transfers of securities can take time to complete, and initiating the transfer well before December 31 helps ensure your gift is received within the current tax year.
