Giving to FMH
Since 1902, it has taken the generosity of thousands of individuals, businesses, and organizations in Frederick County – and beyond - to maintain the quality and excellence in healthcare provision to which we have become accustomed. From the extraordinary gifts of the Hood family that added two new wings to Frederick City Hospital, to the magnanimous generosity of The George L. Shields Foundation, Inc., Carol L. & Norma H. Miller, Dr. & Mrs. Robert D. Crouch, The Nora Roberts Foundation, and Bess & Frank Gladhill, the newest expansion to the hospital was made a reality in 2007, the people of Frederick have been passionate about their support for the hospital.
In 1989, The FMH Development Council was established to provide healthcare service and education to the community along with leading the charitable giving efforts of the hospital. The Council utilizes volunteers to achieve this mission. Since 1989, more than $50 million has been raised for renovation, new construction, service line enhancement, along with new and replacement medical technology at Frederick Memorial Hospital.
As a not-for-profit healthcare organization, Frederick Memorial Healthcare System will require the continued confidence of its friends and neighbors - who ensure by their generosity - the growth and success of Frederick County’s premier healthcare institution. For it is only through your gifts and legacy bequeaths that Frederick Memorial Hospital continues to provide state-of-the-art technology along with 21st century cures.
