Hands holding a red heart

Williston Foundation

Mercy Medical Foundation was formed in 1983 as a separate 501c3.  In April 2016, the Mercy Medical Foundation became "CHI St. Alexius Health Williston Foundation".  Our foundation remains an independent, local entity which raises funds for direct needs at our Williston location.  The mission of the Foundation is to support programs and projects related to health care of the hospital. The ultimate recipient of a gift could be a member of your family, a close friend, or a neighbor receiving care at CHI St. Alexius Health Williston.  Consider the Foundation in memory of a loved one or in your estate planning to impact today and in the future!  Donations to the Foundation are tax deductible and can provide considerable tax advantages. 

The Foundation Team works under the management of a Board of Directors comprised of community leaders and area residents, along with Hospital leadership, who meet to set a program of work to accomplish the goal of fundraising for hospital needs, building the endowment fund, and carrying out projects essential to growth and development.

CHI St. Alexius Health Williston Medical Center is a nonprofit health organization. The funds we receive from sponsors and donors alike help us continue our mission and healing ministry. Through donor dollars, in FY24 we have been able to fund updates to our facility and equipment for a total amount of over $3 million. Funds raised will go towards our Operation Restoring Comfort Initiative: An Acute-Care Hospital Bed Renewal Initiative.

CHI St. Alexius Williston will purchase 43 new hospital beds for our intensive care, MedSurg, and Obstetrics units. As a small hospital serving a rural population, we have been unable to update our outdated beds. The older models cause challenges for nurses and patients alike, including broken components on labor and delivery beds and outdated medication management features that are too old to update.

The new beds will meet the unique challenges facing each of the three units (MedSurg, ICU, and OB).
