Methodist Richardson Medical Center Foundation is an organization based on the spirit of compassion and care and is dedicated to ensuring that excellence continues at Methodist Richardson Medical Center. Our intent is to generate philanthropic support for our hospital that provides care for surrounding communities such as Richardson, Plano, North Dallas, Wylie, Sachse, Garland, and Murphy. The Foundation staff and volunteers are dedicated to providing close-to-home services to our community.
Invest in a Culture of Compassionate Care
The Foundation partners with medical staff to support a mission of providing compassionate care to our patients. We invite you to give in honor of a loved one, to support a medical staff member, and to help patients on their way to regain a vital and healthy life.
Methodist Richardson Medical Center Foundation's mission is to raise, manage, and distribute funds to assist Methodist Richardson Medical Center in acquiring state-of the-art technology, attracting excellent medical staff, and supporting vital hospital programs.
Massage Therapy at the Cancer Center - $50
Massage Therapy is provided for patients currently under treatment, and is also available for their families and caregivers. Benefits of massage include releasing muscle tension, promoting relaxation, helping to alleviate pain, and promoting rest and sleep. The Massage Therapy Program is fully funded by the Foundation and offers a free 30-minute treatment to 550 patients each year.
Artist-in-Residence Program - $100
The program aims to help patients, their families, and caregivers discover their own creative resources as antidotes to the fear, isolation, and boredom that often accompany a cancer diagnosis. The Artist-in-Residence Program serves around 660 patients annually.
Patient Care Rx care - $30 to $800
The Foundation sets aside funds for admitted patients who cannot be discharged in good conscience without prescriptions they cannot afford. These patients are unfunded or significantly underfunded, ranging from chronically ill patients who are strapped in financial resources and patients with no address to secure a prescription. Rather than linger, occupying a hospital room, the Foundation works with the hospital pharmacy to pay for the necessary medication so the patient can be on their way.
Grateful Patient? - any amount will do
The Foundation works with each medical department to fund staff selected projects that bring on new equipment and experiences that support the hospital's service hearted motto to serve patients and one another. We've paid for everything from supped up wheel chairs to infant rockers - all ideas born from Methodist Richardson medical staff.
