Why Give?
As a nonprofit hospital, we rely on generous contributions from people just like you to help us to achieve our mission.
Whether it entails welcoming our youngest patients as they open their eyes to a new world, facilitating easier breathing for patients, or monitoring crucial vital signs and sleep patterns, you can be assured that donations to the Friends of St. Elizabeth's are making a difference.

As the Southern Illinois community continues to grow, we must continue to prepare ourselves for meeting the growing demands of healthcare needs. The Friends of St. Elizabeth's Hospital has a number of ongoing fundraising priorities that help the hospital achieve the everyday miracles of healthcare while supporting a work environment that exemplifies a culture of philanthropy.

Any way it is measured—by participation, by annual giving, or as a planned gift for the future—giving to St. Elizabeth's Hospital matters. It matters to our patients, who benefit from expanded opportunities for healthcare excellence. It inspires our colleagues who utilize philanthropy to provide compassionate patient services. It heartens the entire St. Elizabeth's community, who rely on a healthy philanthropic program to sustain and build the mission of the hospital.
