Your gift makes a difference. Without gifts from our community, St. Joseph's Hospital would not be able to do all it is called upon to do. Other sources of income are simply not enough to provide quality healthcare to Chippewa Falls and the surrounding communities. Every gift to Friends of St. Joseph's Hospital is tax deductible to the fullest extent provided by law and is used in its entirety - as directed by you - for the benefit of the patients and families served by our Hospital.
Changing insurance, government reimbursement policies and practices, an aging population, and continually increasing costs for healthcare technology make gifts to Friends of St. Joseph's Hospital essential. Gifts also enable our Sisters' tradition of charity care to continue for those who otherwise would lack access to healthcare services.
There are many ways to give, including:
