Why Giving Matters

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a tangible difference at St. Alexius Foundation. Gifts from donors are funding programs and services that improve patient care. As a result, CHI St. Alexius Bismarck is able to provide life-saving services to adults and children from throughout our region.

No two St. Alexius donors are exactly alike. They come in different ages, from different parts of the region and from a variety of economic backgrounds. Some are patients, some have had a family member or friend who received exceptional care at St. Alexius and some are community members contributing to ensure exceptional care is available close to home.

But they each have one thing in common: Benefactors keep St. Alexius at the leading edge of medicine.

Cash or check contributions to CHI St. Alexius Health Bismarck Foundation are also welcome. Please make checks payable to "CHI St. Alexius Health Bismarck Foundation," complete the Printable Donation form and mail to:
