About the Foundation
St. Luke's Health Care Foundation is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting St. Luke's Hospital in its efforts to improve the health of Eastern Iowans.
Our Roots
In 1883, Reverend Samuel Ringgold made a passionate plea to the community of Cedar Rapids to build ".a real hospital, so that citizens and strangers alike can be cared for." The next day, the generous gifts of community members formed the cornerstone of St. Luke's Hospital. Their legacy lives on today through the work of the St. Luke's Health Care Foundation, and most of all, through the generosity of people like you.
Our Role
Founded in 1978, the St. Luke's Health Care Foundation has raised millions of dollars from the generosity of individuals, corporations and charitable foundations in order to provide exceptional, compassionate health care for Eastern Iowans. Our goal is to strengthen St. Luke's financial foundation in order to meet both current and future health care needs.
Our Responsibility
As the charitable support organization for St. Luke's Hospital, the area's only Top 100 Heart Hospital, we are committed to providing the support needed to care for men, women, and children in Eastern Iowa; as well as improving quality of life through effective, innovative treatments and technologies.
