Foundation

Our History

The Foundation was established in 2004 and after a major fundraising campaign in 2006 was able to furnish additional equipment, upgrade technology, and establish an endowment for the benefit of both the hospital and the clinic.

To this day, the Foundation serves as a vital component in the success of Faulkton Area Medical Center’s mission. Over time, the Foundation has purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of medical equipment.

How to support the Foundation:

Dr. Ken and Twyla Bartholomew Scholarship

The Faulkton Area Medical Center Foundation’s goal of $250,000 is fulfilled with the future pledge payments, totaling $259,610.11.

With the 2nd goal being reached, we are shooting for the long-term, or indefinite, goal of $1 million to continue to be able to offer this scholarship opportunity here at FAMC to other future MD/DOs for the facility.

When you or your family make the decision to donate to the Foundation, there are many different options, other than a cash donation.

  • Donations of land, grain, or cattle can be made to the Foundation. When you donate land, the Foundation can lease it out to farmers to create a continuous revenue source for the Foundation.
  • Consider donating to the Foundation when you are required to begin taking your minimum distributions from your IRA(s) each calendar year.
