Great Plains Health Care Foundation

We help donors create a better patient experience. The Foundation exists to inspire philanthropy that will enhance the quality and availability of healthcare services for the patients and communities served by Great Plains Health.

The Great Plains Health Care Foundation was established in 1992 by a passionate group of people who wanted to impact healthcare in the North Platte region. The original mission, though the verbiage has changed, remains constant: supporting the healing mission of Great Plains Health and inspiring philanthropy for the sole purpose of enhancing the availability of healthcare services for the patients and communities served by Great Plains Health.
