Why Give to Major Hospital Foundation
  Quick Links

Major Health Partners patients can access world-class healthcare close to home, provided by people they know, and in a personal environment.

Major Health Partners provides an unusually high quality of care to patients as is evidenced by their being selected as a Thomson-Reuters Top 100 Hospital in America and their many high scores earned through patient surveys and national healthcare facility ranking firms.  Though the Shelbyville-Shelby County community is fairly small, the hospital provides a level of care usually found in much larger, more affluent metropolitan areas.

Major Health Partners is facing some big challenges.
While Major Health Partners does have a strong balance sheet, there is more to the story.  The average margin for U.S. hospitals is 2.6%.  Major Health Partners’ margin for 2010 is 3% of revenues, while capital expenditures (technology and facilities) are budgeted for 6%.  The income to cover these expenses through charges to patients is simply not there.  This is true at nearly all nonprofit hospitals.  The difference is made up through donations, earnings on these donations and other non-operating revenues.

YOU can help—be part of the MAJOR DIFFERENCE!
Major Health Partners provides world-class care right here in our small community, and we’re doing well.  But, like any nonprofit hospital system, we must depend on charitable gifts to help us continue to provide the excellent care in a state of the art environment.  We’ll accept nothing less for the community we serve!

You can be our partner in providing excellent healthcare for our community through your charitable gift, which will:

  • Provide assistance to patients in need—helping them secure a medical home and much needed prescriptions so that they can enjoy better health through appropriate healthcare for their specific health conditions,
  • Make technology, equipment, and facility purchases so that our patients can continue to receive state of the art care right here in their home communities,
  • Help pay for health education for our staff, so that they may better serve our patients, and for the community, so residents may better manage their health.

Charitable gifts to the Major Hospital Foundation improve quality, services, and accessibility to healthcare, touching individual lives every day while at the same time providing benefit to the entire community by helping to provide affordable, quality healthcare to all.
