Plains Medical Foundation

We are dedicated to serving the people of Castro County with up-to-date medical care and technology. 

Plains Medical Foundation is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization established in 2000 that exists solely to help Castro County Healthcare seek funding in the form of gifts and grants that benefit the district.

The mission of the Foundation is to direct fundraising and manage gifts in support of healthcare excellence for the citizens of Castro County.

Donations can be mailed to Plains Medical Foundation at 310 W. Halsell, Dimmitt, TX 79027.

Plains Medical Foundation is governed by a board of trustees consisting of employees, directors, and community members.

Foundation Purpose 
The purpose of the Plains Medical Foundation is: 

• To support, assist, and promote healthcare activities. 
• To subsidize any District operating deficits.
• To fund capital expenditures.
• To fund real property.
• To fund scholarships and educational grants.
• To help with fundraising activities and direct solicitation.

There are many ways in which individuals can participate. Gifts can be made as a lump sum, over several years, through a bequest in a will or by gifting stocks, real estate, and other personal property. 

Gifts can be made in honor of or in memory of a loved one. All gifts are tax-deductible to the extent provided by law. A bequest is one way you can make a lifetime gift of cash, real estate, or securities to Plains Medical Foundation simply by adding a codicil to your current will.

Gifts and grants received by the Foundation have been used for a stated purpose – for example, to purchase new ultrasound equipment, a new hydraulic stretcher for EMS, a bar scanner for the hospital pharmacy, and to remodel the Ettie McDermitt Education Room.

Families who have built their lives in Castro County and the surrounding area know the importance of a good, strong community – a hospital being an essential piece. Castro County Healthcare looks once again to its community to pave the way to a more stable future.

Through the generosity of individuals and businesses, CCH can offer the best medical services not only to its citizens today but also for many years to come. It is our hope that future generations will look back on the efforts of this hospital and the concerned citizens of our community and understand the vision that was necessary to create a model for healthcare excellence.
