The Medical Center Foundation was begun with seed money provided by the Medical Center Auxiliary, and during the Foundation's first 20 years, the Auxiliary contributed nearly $5 million to the Medical Center Foundation. Foundation Founder, Nell Wiegand, knew that a Foundation could make a dramatic difference in the care given to our community and over two decades later, the Foundation continues to strengthen the community by building collaborations which make for a healthier community.
