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 the community, the Foundation has been able to fund over 28 projects and new types of equipment which have been donated to the hospital and EMS. Over $4 million has been raised and reinvested in local healthcare initiatives.
Through the work of the Foundation, local citizens have access to state-of-the-art medical equipment and technology not normally available in a community our size. Due to our advanced, local offerings, the hospital is able to attract the very best doctors, nurses, and medical staff to serve the community.
The Health Care Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization governed by an independent, volunteer board of directors each of whom lives in Hopkins County.
Held annually, the Lights of Life gala is the largest fundraising event for the Health Care Foundation with sell-out attendance of 550 each year with a goal to net $300,000 annually.
