Overview
Mission
The MHP Foundation supports Major Health Partners by cultivating relationships with donors and encouraging charitable gifts. These gifts are used to further advance the care provided by Major Health Partners.
What it reported doing in 2024
Patient and family support and charity care funding: the prescription assistance program disbursed $6,518 to purchase 46 prescriptions for patients who could not afford them. This assistance is short-term for one or two cycles of prescriptions while case managers work, when necessary, to find long term prescription assistance for the patient. The program prevents costly readmissions of inpatients and helps keep outpatients healthy so that they are not admitted for something that could have been prevented with medication. The charity care fund provided $5,854 to assist 79 patients with heart screenings and medical equipment, and provided $2,122 for mental health patients.the patient and family support fund disbursed $7,900 in small healthcare related items for patients during recovery, helping to reduce unneeded stress during their hospital stay. In most cases, the items helped patients transition more successfully to home or a rehabilitation facility. Transportation is an increasing need, and the patient and family support fund helped support that program as well. The "you are not alone" fund disbursed $10,630 to help 37 oncology patients in need with day to day living expenses and special items to increase quality of life.the women's alliance spent $37,420 on projects to help support patients at mhp. They made baby sized christmas stockings for newborn babies, oncology support bags for each patient in treatment at the mhp center for oncology and hematology, and cardiac rehabilitation gym bags for each patient in cardiac rehab at mhp.wound care: $6,336 used to assist a wound care patient.employee projects: $24,747 used to help departments provide better care for their patients through an internal grant process. Employees submit project ideas that would improve functionality, access to care, or project development. This is part of the annual employee fundraising campaign, together we are.the premium assistance fund covered patient bills for $11,152 for 111 patients.
