Marquette General Foundation unveils updated website!

Beginning today, the Marquette General Foundation, the fund-raising team of Marquette General Health System, has an improved look on its website (www.mgh.org/foundation/index.html)!

Building on its chosen blue and gold logo colors, the Foundation website gives readers a number of expanded tool-bar options, giving on-line visitors clear, easy-to-read information on the Foundation and providing methods for donors to make real,measurable differences in the future of healthcare delivery at Marquette General.

“We’re very pleased to roll out the new site,” said Jan Hillman, Executive Director of the Marquette General Foundation. “Our team, along with Foundation Board members and hospital webmaster Ted Bonner, has taken great pride in crafting a highly informational site that’s easy to navigate.”

The site features clear, concise information on the Marquette General Foundation. The site includes background information on the Marquette General Foundation, its mission/vision, a listing of its Board of Directors and Frequently Asked Questions.

In addition, it offers information on the Foundation team, as well as gift-giving information for those interested in making planned gifts. Secure on-line donations are also a feature of the improved site.

“The on-line giving option is particularly attractive,” said Stephen Mattson, president of the Marquette General Foundation Board. “We value our donors, many of whom will now have the option of donating — whether it’s a one-time gift or by a growing number of planned gift opportunities — from the convenience of their home computer.”

Each day, lives are changed because Marquette General Health System has provided the right combination of technologies and expertise at the right time. No one can predict when they or someone close to them will need the resources of MGHS and the physicians affiliated with it.

That's precisely why the Marquette General Foundation needs your help. New technologies and updates are evolving constantly, and strong financial resources invested in the Foundation can provide assurance that the best care will always be available to us and to those we love.

Every family has known the anxiety of facing a serious medical threat, as well as the reassurance of having the right specialty resources available close to home.

You can choose to designate your gift to one of these centers or to an undesignated fund that can be used for other significant equipment and programming.
