The Palo Pinto Area Foundation was formed in October 1969 as a 501(c)3 Organization. The mission of the Foundation is to financially support the endeavors of the Palo Pinto General Hospital, Board of Directors and Palo Pinto County Hospital District in the healthcare needs of the surrounding communities.
Over 50 years ago, a group of professional businessmen and women saw the advantage of having a county hospital district in Mineral Wells, Texas. The population was flourishing in Mineral Wells at the time, and the need was great. They walked the streets and shook hands and single-handedly raised enough money to completely furnish and support the building of Palo Pinto General Hospital as we know it today. In the 1980s, they began a new mission to build a third floor, which is now the medical and surgical units.
Today, the Board of Directors of the Palo Pinto Area Foundation is committed to guiding the Foundation. They guide and develop the distribution of funds donated to the Foundation. Most important to the hospital is their enthusiasm and profound recognition of the positive and successful direction the Palo Pinto Area Foundation has taken. Whether it is for themselves, family or friends, they know how valuable it is to have locally accessible “Excellence in Healthcare.”
If you would like to make a difference in projects in our hospital and community, please consider donating today. Your support helps us continue improving care and serving those around us. We truly appreciate you—thank you!
