My Story…

I am running the Twin Cities 10-Mile to raise money for the Hennepin Healthcare Foundation. Please donate if you are able. 

Hennepin County Medical Center is Minnesota's largest level one trauma center, safety net, and public teaching hospital which offers innovative ways to deliver exceptional healthcare without exception. 

It holds a very special place in my heart, as it is the place where I gave birth to all three of my children, and it was at the center of the emergency response to last year's mass shooting at their alma mater, Annunciation Catholic School. 

HCMC has been operating under budget constraints for years, and was recently under threat of closure, which would have been disastrous for not just the Twin Cities but the wider state. 

I appreciate anything you can give - thank you. 



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.
