The Martin Memorial Foundation:
Our Partnership With You
Hospitals occupy a special place in the community. They are places where life begins, where healing is the mission and hope is created every day.
Since 1939, Martin Memorial has been a touchstone for Treasure Coast Residents. Through the decades, there are been many changes, but one thing has never wavered--Martin Memorial's partnership with the people it serves.
Martin Memorial Health Systems is a not-for-profit 501-c3 hospital. We rely on your gifts to provide the medical excellence that our community expects and deserves.
You Can Make a Difference
By giving to Martin Memorial, you are investing wisely in your community healthcare system. Your gift helps to lower costs and save and rehabilitate lives. Your investment keeps excellent care as close to home as possible.
In addition to helping provide excellent healthcare, philanthropy can help minimize your tax burden and increase your financial flexibility. Income taxes, capital gains taxes, and gift and estate taxes may all be reduced through your generous giving. Please ask us, and talk to your accountant or attorney, to learn more about how giving can benefit you.

About the Foundation
The Martin Memorial Foundation was created in 1983 and has raised $37.1 million since its inception, helping to fulfill the health systems' mission of providing access to the very best care and services available.
As the only not-for-profit hospital in St. Lucie or Martin counties, Martin Memorial has benefited from the generosity of its neighbors, who recognize the value and importance of philanthropy.
