About the Avera McKennan Foundation
The Avera McKennan Foundation was established in 1982 to encourage and accept private gifts in support of Avera McKennan and the many Avera McKennan patients, employees, and families it serves.
Our vision is to provide the highest quality health care, without limits, to those in need. To ease the financial burden of health care to our community. To help provide the latest technology and education to our patients. To ensure that everyone is taken care of today and for a lifetime. To create something greater than any of us - a promise - that for many years, the highest quality health care will be provided to our community with compassion.
Support of this kind will be increasingly important in achieving the flexibility and strength needed to meet the future challenges of providing quality healthcare to all in need.
A gift to the Avera McKennan Foundation touches lives for a lifetime. Please be our partner in furthering the mission of the healing ministry of Jesus Christ.
Our Values...
In caring together for life, the Avera Health community is guided by the gospel values of compassion, hospitality and stewardship.
Compassion
The compassion of Jesus, especially for the poor and the sick of body and spirit, shapes the manner in which health care is delivered by Avera's employees, physicians, administrators, volunteers and sponsors. Compassionate caring is expressed through sensitive listening and responding, understanding, support, patience, and healing touch.
Hospitality
The encounters of Jesus with each person were typified by openness and mutuality. A welcoming presence, an attentiveness to needs, and a gracious manner, seasoned with a sense of humor, are expressions of hospitality in and by the Avera Health community.
Stewardship
Threaded through the mission of Jesus was the restoration of all the world to right relationship with its Creator. In that same spirit and mission, the members of Avera Health treat persons, organizational power and earth's resources with justice and responsibility. Respect, truth and integrity are foundational to right relationships among those who serve, and those who are served.
