About Midwest Health Foundation
Midwest Health Foundation’s recent giving is centered on general support for the hospitals in the UChicago Medicine AdventHealth network serving Chicago’s western suburbs. The largest grant in the current record is $452,284 to Adventist Midwest Health in La Grange, followed by $385,920 in 2024 and $362,566 in 2025 to the same recipient, showing repeated support across multiple years. The foundation also backed Adventist Glenoaks Hospital in Glendale Heights with grants of $368,145 in 2024 and $218,741 in 2025, and Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital in Bolingbrook received several awards as well. That pattern points to a funder that supports operating needs rather than one-time project-only gifts. The foundation’s existing profile also connects its philanthropy to system-wide work across the network, including hospitals, research, patient care, technology, and physician recruitment. For a researcher, the key signal is continuity: the grants track with the same local health system entities over time, and the awards are sized to support institutional priorities rather than individual programs alone.
