Welcome to Medical Center Foundation of Hartford - Home

Since 1977, the Medical Center Foundation of Hartford has had a rich history of helping individuals in Hartford and surrounding communities use the services of our hospital.

With generous support from community members like you, our Foundation can help those in our community in need of services they otherwise cannot afford.

You can be assured the money donated to this Foundation stays in our community to help local families, neighbors, and friends.

President's Message

So many in need

With the economic slump and the stock market up one day and down the next, it's no wonder area residents are relying more and more on our community programs. 

Hearing stories from individuals who benefit from our Foundation programs brings warmth to my heart, and I hope to yours as well.  Just think about the aging man, caring for his wife who suffers from Alzheimer's/dementia.  With his physical limitations, he is unable to bathe her or transport her on his own.  Enter the Foundation’s adult day center and the Foundation transportation programs!

With your support, our programs remain an integral part of this community, and continue to help the increasing number of people in need.  Donations to our Foundation help to keep our patient transportation, adult day service, in-home personal emergency response and sexual assault nurse examiner programs alive.  We cannot maintain these programs without you!  So please, remember to give generously, open your hearts, and help those relying on our programs.

Warmest wishes for a beautiful Fall!

Iris I. Hulbert, President

Tree of Life Lighting Ceremony

Thursday, December 1, 2011

Time:  5:00 pm

Location:  Aurora Medical Center in Hartford, Main Entrance Ring in the Holidays in a special way!  Join us for our annual tree lighting ceremony at 5:00 p.m. at the front entrance to Aurora Medical Center-Hartford.  Entertainment will be provided by members of the Hartford Union High School choir, and refreshments will be served following the ceremony. All area community members, hospital caregivers, volunteers, physicians and families are invited to attend this heartwarming event.  The tree is the focus of an annual appeal to fund the Personal Emergency Response Program for Hartford and the surrounding communities.  This emergency response system helps approximately 208 elderly and homebound area residents remain independent in their homes.  Each light on the tree represents a gift in honor or memory of loved ones in our lives. The tree remains lit throughout the holiday season, symbolizing overwhelming community support for this vital program.  To add our light to the tree, or for more information, please contact Laura Eggert, executive director of the Medical Center Foundation of Hartford - 262-670-7568.  We hope you can join us for this heartwarming event!
