“If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else,
you will have succeeded”
~ Maya Angelou
Since 1941, Mount St. Mary Hospital has been home for those unable to care for themselves but don't need acute care services. At MSMH, we embrace a Home Life Model of Care. Donations alleviate loneliness, helplessness and boredom by offering a variety of living spaces, and engaging residents in meaningful activities of daily living.
We can do this because of YOU!
Although essential to the health and well-being of our residents, government funding only covers a fraction of the cost of hospital equipment, caregiver education, activities, and supportive programs for residents.
Your gift allows us to enhance the care, comfort, dignity, and respect of vulnerable members of our community. With your help, we can provide equipment, programs, and services to increase the standard of care for the 275 residents and their families who call Mount St. Mary home each year. This includes such things as:
- Spiritual care
- Music therapy
- Art group
- Therapeutic equipment
- Sensory garden for residents with dementia
- Room renovations to ensure safety, comfort, and accessibility
