Welcome to the Corewell Health Foundation Southwest Michigan's Annual Gala. This year we are pleased to come together to raise funds in benefit of the Patient Assistance Fund.
Saturday, November 11, 2023
Event begins at 5:30 p.m.
Corewell Health St. Joseph Hospital
Making health better means helping everyone live their healthiest life. For some in our community, medical expenses are a barrier they can't overcome on their own. We must all come together to improve health, instill humanity and inspire hope. The Patient Assistance Fund is available for patients in our community who have limited resources. By providing funds for expenses from medications to transportation to medical equipment, our goal is to unburden the patient so they can focus on their care journey.
