Join our Mission to Inspire a Higher Standard in Medicine

Southwestern Medical Foundation is a catalyst for innovation in our community. As a sustainable funding source for medical progress, we support and inspire a higher standard in medicine through education, discovery, and care.

We continue to be inspired by the insights spoken by our leaders: “The value of health and happiness to an individual who is afflicted cannot be estimated… the value to a community of a higher standard of public health is incalculable.” 

This idea has guided the Foundation always, and your support has provided the means to deliver this incalculable value for North Texans for more than 80 years.
