The United Hospital Foundation was created to help United Hospital meet the needs of patients, employees and members of the community. Established in 1984, United Hospital Foundation formalized nearly 150 years of philanthropy. Through annual gifts, endowment assets and funding of major facilities, technologies and programs, United Hospital Foundation and the community members who support it help ensure United Hospital’s continued leadership in health care. The MAFP wants to thank the United Hospital Foundation for their generous support which will help keep Minnesota kids tobacco-free.
