Our Foundations: Your Local Community Health Partner

A Mission Born from Six Hearts Has Continued for 150 Years

Continuing Christ’s Ministry in our Franciscan Tradition

Inspired by the ideals of St. Francis, Blessed Maria Theresia Bonzel brought a vision to life with the help of six Sisters she sent from Olpe, Germany to Lafayette, Indiana in 1875. Their mission? To heal, uplift and educate the poor and neglected.

150 years later, our Franciscan Health Foundations embody this spirit of selfless love and compassion by supporting our hospitals, outpatient facilities and community programs across Indiana through employee and patient-focused initiatives.

Your generosity is how you can help us keep this mission thriving. Choose where your gift goes by supporting a local division through a specific fund or selecting area of greatest need on any giving form.
