Foundation was developed 2005 to respond to the desires of patients, their families and the community to donate to the Hospital to assist us in providing exemplary health cares services to the region. The Foundation oversees all philanthropic efforts of the Hospital. That includes annual fundraisers, special events, major gift fundraising, capital campaigns and planned giving programs. It is governed by a board of directors, who represent the cultural diversity and values of southwest Louisiana. (link board of directors to http://www.stpatrickfoundation.org/?nd=bod)
