Mission
The mission of the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Endowment Association is to secure private gifts and financial support for medical education, research, land acquisition, and unique hospital programs; to guide the investment and disbursement of those funds for the support of Lawrence Memorial Hospital; and to help sustain Lawrence Memorial Hospital as a community hospital.

The Association also provides opportunities for people to share in the mission of the hospital through philanthropy. Although the Association is incorporated as a separate organization and is not involved in the administration or operation of the hospital, all Association policies are guided by the mission of the hospital, and the hospital’s dedication to excellence in health care for all people of Lawrence and Douglas County.

Vision
To financially support the enhanced quality of life for all people (served by Lawrence Memorial Hospital).

"For as long as I’ve lived in Lawrence, I’ve been glad to know we have a community hospital. But now, in serving on the Endowment Association board, I’ve come to realize just how great a hospital it is, and how fortunate we are to have such knowledgeable and caring professionals right here."

"Lawrence Memorial Hospital is excellent because of its people — people who have had years of medical training, people who know how to care, people who believe in this work and how important it is. I believe the role of the Endowment Association is not just to encourage people to support LMH financially and through volunteering, but also to recognize and thank people for what they do."
