Your giving impacts lives and enhances health care, every day.

We all know that giving helps others, and research shows that giving can also boost your own physical and mental health. Your giving will also support pressing health needs and ensure medical care is available to all who need it. No matter the size or purpose, every gift you make has an impact at Yuma Regional Medical Center.

The Foundation of Yuma Regional Medical Center is the hospital’s fundraising and charitable arm. Our mission is to advance the delivery of state-of-the-art health care in a loving, compassionate, patient and family-centered environment. The needs continue to be great, yet the resources are often limited. It is through generous planned gifts, transformational grants, creative and entertaining fundraising events and individual donations from members of the community that we can fulfill our mission. It is our privilege and responsibility to raise funds to enhance the patient experience and advance patient outcomes.

We invite you to collaborate with us in making a difference for our community – for your community – and in pursuit of our vision to provide the finest health care possible. All gifts to the Foundation are tax-deductible and will benefit areas of greatest need, or you may direct your gift where it is needed most, in an area you care deeply about or for a priority program or service. Gifts can also be made in memory or honor of a loved one or a Yuma Regional caregiver.
