Cancer Care Fund
The Cancer Care Fund helps meet the increasing costs of maintaining a state-of-the-art
oncology program. Your support could help the hospital acquire new technology, upgrade the physical attributes of the oncology unit, acquire new chemotherapy chairs for patients undergoing treatment, or even provide educational materials to the community at large. Whether a one-time gift or a pledge extended over several years, your donation will
be dedicated to the needs of the oncology program.
Like all donations to The Foundation, your gift to the Cancer Care Fund is tax-deductible as prescribed by law. To make a special gift to the Cancer Care Fund, please call The Foundation at (337) 494-3226.

Heart Care Fund
The Heart Care Fund supports the cardiovascular programs at Memorial Hospital and the astounding changes cardiovascular medicine has undergone over the past few decades. Whether it involves upgrading equipment in one of our three cardiac catheterization labs, providing oversized flat screen monitors in our operating rooms to enhance the surgical experience for our physicians and their patients, or offering educational information about cardiovascular disease and strokes to the general public, your one-time gift or pledge extended over several years to the Heart Care Fund will help Memorial meet these needs.
Like all donations to The Foundation, your gift to the Heart Care Fund is tax-deductible as prescribed by law.

Newborn Care Fund *The Pink & Blue Wall
The Newborn Care Fund enhances the neonatal program and birthing center at Lake Charles Memorial Hospital for Women which have grown beyond expectations due to the outstanding care provided by the physicians and staff. With this growth, comes additional revenue needs for equipment such as new baby monitors; updated furnishings in the labor, delivery and postpartum suites; or educational materials for expectant moms.
A special program designed to provide resources for the Family Birth Center at Lake Charles Memorial Hospital for Women, The Pink & Blue wall is an opportunity for parents, grandparents, relatives and friends to commemorate the birth of a baby while benefitting Memorial Hospital for Women. For a $200 donation, the baby's name and birth date will be placed on The Pink & Blue wall located in the lobby of the Memorial Hospital for Women.
The Pink & Blue wall is not restricted to newborns at Memorial Hospital for Women. Parents, grandparents, relatives or friends may commemorate any child on the wall, whether or not they were born at Memorial Hospital for Women for the same $200 contribution.
Your contribution will be designated to the Newborn Care Fund and recognized in The Foundation’s annual report as a member of the CARE Club.
Pink & Blue registration forms are available in the Family Birth Center. To sign up for an engraved plate on the Pink & Blue donor wall, call The Foundation at (337) 494-3226. You may mail your donation directly to The Foundation office at 1701 Oak Park Blvd; Suite 1940, Lake Charles, LA 70601.
Healing Through Music Fund *First Monday in the Atrium
The Healing Through Music Fund recognizes music as an asset in creating a therapeutic,
healing environment for pain management, wound care, and critical care treatments such as cancer and stroke rehabilitation. In that spirit, Memorial Hospital presents First Monday in the Atrium – a presentation of various musical artists from the region. On the first Monday of every month, patients and their families, hospital staff and physicians, and visitors may enjoy the healing sounds of music from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm.
Donors may support the Healing Through Music Fund’s First Monday in the Atrium music program by designating a $500 gift to support one month’s performance. Your generous sponsorship will be recognized on our Sponsor signage the day of the presentation and in The Foundation’s annual report as a member of the Benefactor Club.
To make a gift in support of the First Monday in the Atrium, please call The Foundation at (337) 494-3226. You may mail your donation directly to The Foundation office at 1701 Oak Park Blvd; Suite 1940, Lake Charles, LA 70601.
Art for the Soul Fund
The Art for the Soul Fund brings credence to the belief that if music heals the mind and
body, then art heals the soul. Unfortunately, when operational dollars are sorely needed by
hospitals to continuously improve services and update medical equipment, exhibited art is
often an afterthought.
Local artists from the surrounding parishes will be featured on the units and available for underwriting by donors @ $500 a print. Your donation will be recognized with a plaque placed adjacent to the print(s) you select. Additionally, your donation will be recognized at the Benefactor level of the Annual Fund and your name(s) will be noted in The Foundation’s annual report.
To make a gift in support of Art for the Soul, please call The Foundation at (337) 494-3226. You may mail your donation directly to The Foundation office at 1701 Oak Park Blvd; Suite 1940, Lake Charles, LA 70601.
Resident Scholarship Fund
Donors may support the Resident Scholarship Fund by designating a gift to support the
Memorial/LSUHSC Residency Program. In the summer of 2009, Lake Charles Memorial
Hospital received official recognition as the only teaching hospital in Southwest Louisiana; a distinction we have diligently developed over the past eight years. The Resident’s Program becomes the recipient of 100 percent of the donations given to this fund.
Your generous sponsorship will be recognized on appropriate donor signage and in The Foundation’s annual report. You may also request that your gift goes to support annual scholarships to residents upon graduation.
