LMH Health Foundation celebrates 50 years throughout 2019
The LMH Health West Campus, rendered here, is estimated to open summer 2020.
LMH Health Foundation receives largest gift to date LMH Health Foundation has been awarded a $2 million grant from the Kansas City-based Sunderland Foundation to support the LMH Health West Campus expansion. This is the largest gift in LMH Health Foundation history. The new, state-of-the-art facility will have a strong emphasis on outpatient services, including family and internal medicine, orthopedic and sports medicine, physical therapy, and women’s health services. It also will include outpatient surgical capabilities. The campus will be near Kansas Highway 10 and Rock Chalk Park in Lawrence. “This gift for the new LMH Health West Campus is an acknowledgement of how important the project is,” says Earl Reineman, major and planned gifts manager for LMH Health Foundation. “The Sunderland Foundation recognizes that the LMH Health West Campus will greatly enhance the delivery of medical care to the people we serve. But they also recognize that it will strengthen the hospital in ways that help sustain the missiondriven care we provide, such as charity care, community outreach and crisis care for mental health and substance use.” —continued inside
