Memorial Hospital Foundation
In 1918 Mrs. Mary Miller Hayes started the Memorial Hospital Foundation with an endowment of $50,000 in memory of her mother, Nancy Otis Miller. Since that first act of generosity, hundreds of people have invested in the future of Memorial Hospital through the Memorial Hospital Foundation.
The Memorial Hospital Foundation is hosting the 26th Annual John D. Zimmerman Golf Classic on June 8, 2012 at the Fremont Country Club. All proceeds benefit the Memorial Hospital Foundation General Endowment Fund. For more information, contact Chasity O'Neill, director of development, at 419.334.6667 or download the sponsorship brochure.
