LifeCare Health Care Family of Funds
Established in 2004, the LifeCare Health Care Fund provides financial support for health-related activities, projects, and/or services benefiting residents in the LifeCare service area in Roseau County. Over the years, LifeCare Health Care Fund has raised over $1,495,000 through donations, community events and fundraisers, the Memorial Program, and the “Partners for Health” event, enabling various community and hospital projects to become a reality. To date, LifeCare Health Care Fund has awarded over $1,040,000 in grants to Roseau County nonprofit organizations and LifeCare Medical Center, promoting health and wellness across our communities.
Thanks to the generosity of individuals and businesses, LifeCare Health Care Fund now manages nine endowed funds dedicated to specific causes. As a component fund of the Northwest Minnesota Foundation, LifeCare Health Care Fund continues to make a meaningful impact, driven by the original generosity of community member Maggi Adams. We are deeply grateful for the ongoing support that makes our work possible.
