Hand County Memorial Hospital works with two excellent foundations to assist in meeting community needs in a variety of ways. Through the Avera Foundation, we receive gifts and endowments and manage those as the donor requests. In addition, we also have access to a variety of larger grant opportunities to enhance Miller health care services and the community. Hand County Health, Wellness, and Community Foundation has been in existence since 2009 and was incorporated with the focus of meeting community needs.
We invite you to be part of our family of care through your financial gifts, volunteering your time, or lifting us up in prayer. With your generous help, we will enhance services to those we serve. We are grateful for financial support at any level. Gift options include direct donations, bequests, trusts, gifts of life insurance, stocks and real estate.
