About OMC Regional Foundation

We call southeastern Minnesota home. We are here to support the health and wellbeing of our neighbors who need it most. We ask that you join us.

History

Since 2002, OMC Regional Foundation (OMCRF) has been a 501(c)(3) charitable organization advocating for and supporting Olmsted Medical Center by funding quality healthcare services and education in the communities we serve. Primarily, OMCRF helps extend Olmsted Medical Center’s financial assistance program to more patients who, through no fault of their own, need financial help with medical bills. OMC Regional Foundation strives to connect with patients and families by being a bridge for them to OMC healthcare providers.
