Foundation Endowment Fund

At the Phelps Health Foundation, our mission is to ensure that our community has access to high-quality, accessible healthcare. The Phelps Health Foundation Endowment Fund is dedicated to providing long-term financial support to enhance and sustain healthcare services in our community.

What Is an Endowment?

The Foundation’s endowment is a fund established to provide long-term financial stability. The endowment allows the Foundation to support the Hospital’s mission—to provide high-quality, accessible healthcare—through the earnings from the endowment, rather than relying solely on short-term donations.

“When I met with my oncologist [at the Phelps Health Delbert Day Cancer Institute] for our second opinion, I could tell immediately how kind he was… He didn't tell me how long he expected me to live. He didn't look at me like I was already gone. He told me to keep planning my summers, and that was all the hope I needed.” 
- Erin Simon, of Rolla, Breast Cancer Patient
