Health Care Foundation

For over twenty-five years, the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation has worked side-by-side with the local hospital to improve the health of the citizens of Hopkins County. As our community continues to grow, so must the offerings of local health care providers and the hospital. The Foundation is proud to support CHRISTUS Mother Frances-Sulphur Springs in the promise to provide the best area health care and to extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ.

Established in 1997, the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation was organized to secure funds from individuals, businesses and corporations, to provide, promote, maintain, and improve the continual growth of the local hospital, now CHRISTUS Mother Frances-Sulphur Springs. With the generous contributions and support of friends, family, and neighbors, the Foundation is building a strong, long-term endowment that will insure the advancement of health care for future generations of Hopkins County.

The Health Care Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization governed by an Independent Board of Directors who live in Hopkins County.

Held annually, the Lights of Life gala is the largest fundraising event for the Health Care Foundation. Every year we are overwhelmed by the support of the community, and every year we are able to meet our goals. This speaks volumes as to the generosity of Hopkins County and its citizens.

Contributions, whether large or small, are always greatly appreciated. We accept cash donations as well as bequests made through a will or estate planning.

We encourage you, your business, or civic organization to become involved and be a part of the continued efforts of the Foundation, as we focus on the future of healthcare in Hopkins County.
