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 Lori Mattson at 785-3888
