The Foundation is a 501(c) (3) non-profit public charity that seeks to provide financial support for patients nearing end of life and their families through programs.

- Alzheimer’s Support: Provide grants and financial support for those with late-stage Alzheimer’s disease and dementia; educational grants and continuing education for health care professionals; and caregiver support programs.
In 2015, the Foundation provided 80 grants to patients or their families totaling more than $72,000. This year, the Foundation hopes to provide nearly $250,000 in scholarships; Alzheimer’s, veteran and cancer support; ongoing patient and family need grants; and end of life education to the community.
