Buffalo Hospital Foundation

Community support plays a vital role in helping Buffalo Hospital provide the latest advances in patient care, create an environment that promotes healing, and offer programs and services that foster community health. As a not-for-profit organization, Buffalo Hospital reinvests profits to grow its services and facilities yet earnings alone are not keeping pace with the ever growing health care needs of our community.

Your gifts to the foundation help ensure that the citizens of Wright and surrounding counties benefit from exceptional health services available at the hospital and in the community.

A reason to give

Buffalo Hospital is a not-for-profit organization that reinvests excess revenues to improve its services and facilities each year. As our community grows at remarkable speed, the hospital’s revenues alone will not be adequate to keep pace with our demands for bigger and better facilities and services because:
(1) Payments from insurance companies often do not cover costs of providing care. For example, a hospital is reimbursed a standard rate by insurance companies for a “birth procedure.” However, each birth is different and results in different costs. Where costs are more than what insurance pays, the hospital loses money.

(2) The amount that Medicare and Medicaid pay for health procedures continues to be reduced. These insurers are requiring the hospital to operate at a loss.

(3) With the rising costs of health insurance, more of our community members do not have insurance. As a non-profit hospital, we are committed to serving every citizen that walks through our door, regardless of their ability to pay.  

Any contribution to a hospital’s foundation is an investment in your health and the community. Your contributions to Buffalo Hospital Foundation are used to help ensure community members benefit from exceptional health services at Buffalo Hospital and within the community.
