Mary Lanning HealthCare Foundation

Welcome to our homepage for the Mary Lanning HealthCare Foundation (MLHF)! 

We were excited recently to receive a check from the MLMH Auxiliary for $35,000. Over the years, they have given over $586,000 to the Foundation and Hospital to support so many wonderful projects of MLHF. This year, their generous contribution will be purchasing a new, state-of-the-art bed for the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). I know those working in the ICU are excited for the new beds to continually provide the best care to our patients.

At the annual volunteer appreciation luncheon I was amazed to see the number of volunteer hours given to the Hospital over the years. Nearly 1.2 MILLION hours have been donated since the 1950s to help us provide services to all who enter Mary Lanning. If you are on our campus or know any of our volunteers, please make sure to tell them thank you for all of their efforts. Without them, there are many things that we could not do to make the hospital experience better for all who come through our doors.

The Foundation staff is working on several projects in addition to our annual events (12th annual charity Golf Tournament, June 11, and 21st annual charity gala The Stars Come Out, August 25). We are putting the finishing touches on our 2011 annual report and the response to our newly implemented newsletter has been tremendous. Watch your mail for our latest newsletter this summer. If you are not on the mailing list for our newsletter, please contact us and we would be pleased to add you to our list.

Thank you again for taking the time to explore our website and learn more about opportunities with MLHF. Please feel free to call me directly at 402-460-5601 or e-mail bsynhorst@mlmh.org with any questions you may have regarding the opportunities to invest in healthcare through the Foundation.

Warm Regards,

Robert (Bud) Synhorst, CFRE
