My Story…
Hennepin Healthcare is more than a hospital—it’s a lifeline. As Minnesota’s largest Level I Trauma Center, safety‑net hospital, and public healthcare system, it opens its doors to every person who needs care, no matter their background, circumstances, or ability to pay. This commitment isn’t just a mission statement; it’s a daily reality lived out by thousands of dedicated staff and supported by a community that believes everyone deserves exceptional care.
Working inside this system, I see firsthand the resilience of our patients and the compassion of the people who care for them. Many arrive during the most vulnerable moments of their lives—after trauma, crisis, or years of limited access to healthcare. Some have nowhere else to go. All deserve dignity, healing, and hope.
Supporting this Foundation means supporting real people with real needs—neighbors, families, and community members who rely on us when life takes an unexpected turn.
I’m proud to raise money for an organization with a long, trusted history of showing up for people when they need it most. Supporting this work is one of the most meaningful things I can do as part of the Hennepin Healthcare team.
If you believe in equitable care, community strength, and the idea that everyone deserves help in their hardest moments, I invite you to join me.
Description
Hennepin Healthcare Foundation dedicates itself to the great purpose of healing and enriching life in our community. We do not do this alone, but through the partnership of thousands of people who give in different ways, driven to support an organization that offers exceptional healthcare without exception. Our unique position of being Minnesota's largest level one trauma center, safety net, and public teaching hospital offers innovative ways to influence the health of our community. Most people don't realize that Hennepin County funding for Hennepin Healthcare accounts for less than 3% of its annual budget, providing numerous opportunities for philanthropy to make an impact. Generosity removes barriers to healthcare access, enhances the patient and family experience, and advances efforts in medical education, clinical research, and community health.
Hennepin Healthcare Foundation was established in 2009, as a tax exempt, nonprofit organization governed by a Board of Directors. We are listed on GuideStar.
