Our Mission

Guadalupe Regional Medical Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization that seeks to advance the mission of Guadalupe Regional Medical Center through the development of philanthropic resources and community awareness.  This is accomplished through education, community relations, advocacy and fundraising. With the generous donations and support of many, the Foundation has donated millions of dollars to fund key projects and programs that help shape the future of the innovative, life-saving and compassionate care that we are privileged to provide to our patients and community.

Who We Are

Making a difference in the healthcare of our community, Guadalupe Regional Medical Foundation (GRMF) believes in letting your passion be your legacy. GRMF puts that belief into action each and every day in its dedication to the Guadalupe Regional Medical Center's (GRMC) continued success as an independent, non-profit, community-owned entity. GRMC's high caliber of nationally recognized healthcare is maintained without local tax support, while providing a wide array of charity care to the community.

Over the past 21 years, GRMF has existed to help promote, preserve, and expand the ongoing services available at GRMC and continues to do so, while also funding a variety of patient care needs, including medication assistance, educational programs, and new technological advancements.
