We believe our community deserves local access to
world-class health care. We are committed to advancing the health of our region through philanthropic support for Lima Memorial Health System.

Over the years, the Lima Memorial Foundation has been the catalyst for bringing technological advancements, programs and services to the Greater Lima Region. In 2018, the Lima Memorial Foundation Board of Directors approved a two-year, $2.5 million project to transform the way inpatient rehabilitation is delivered in our region. Proceeds from our 2019 Journey in Motion will directly benefit this project and most importantly benefit those faced with a debilitating illness or injury, putting them on the fast-track to recovery. Learn more about this project by clicking on the 2019 Funding Priority Link. 

Through immense community support of the Foundation, Lima Memorial has been able to establish its world-renowned surgical robotics program, expand its electrophysiology program and introduce technological advancements unique to the region, including innovative lung cancer diagnostic technology, sophisticated infection control equipment and a state-of-the-art simulation and education laboratory. 

Even more, with the support of our community the Foundation has contributed funds needed for:

Timmermeister Family Surgery Center
da Vinci® Surgical Robots
Rehabilitation and Balance Equipment
Family Birth Center Expansion
Indian Lake Medical Center Building
Patient and Family Support and Resources
Program and Service Enhancements
Educational and Training Opportunities
And More

We are most grateful to our friends who so willingly invest in the health of our community through philanthropic gifts to the Lima Memorial Foundation.
