The Bingham Health
Care Foundation was
established in July of 2000
by a group of concerned
citizens with experience in
the healthcare field. It's
mission is to develop health
care relationships within the
communities it serves, to
highlight awareness of
access to medical care for
all Bingham County
residents, increase
knowledge of healthy
lifestyles throughout our
community and to
encourage funding sources
that will enhance health care
services for all of Bingham
County.
The Bingham Health Care
Foundation is an
independent non-profit
organization, which raises
money through grant
writing, individual
donations, special events,
annual mass mailings, an
employee payroll deduction
program, and a series of
other annual campaigns.
The Bingham Health Care
Foundation is involved in a
variety of services
throughout our community.
These services include
providing diabetic packets
to Bingham County
residents, funding for the
hippotherapy program for
children throughout
Bingham County and an
entirely new pediatric
rehabilitation facility inside
Bingham Memorial
Hospital. We have also
recently donated money to
purchase a new,
handicapped accessible van
for the Bingham Memorial
Extended Care Facility.
Another thing we are
extremely proud of is our
forgivable loan nursing
program, which provides
nursing scholarships for
people wishing to receive
their registered nursing
degree. The foundation is
currently working on
building a gazebo for the
extended care facility to
provide a shaded area for
the residents to enjoy during
the summer months and
even do a little gardening.
The foundation has come a
long way in a few short
years and we are proud to
serve our community with
the goal of enhancing health
care and enhancing lives.
The Bingham Health
Care Foundation works
hand in hand with Bingham
Memorial Hospital to
address the health care
needs of the residents of
Bingham County. Both the
Hospital and the Foundation
are committed to the pursuit
of excellence and endeavor
to provide a continuum of
quality, compassionate
health care services for
everyone. If you would like
to support the foundation in
it's efforts, you can contact
