St. Luke's Medical Foundation was established in 2010 by the founders of St. Luke's Medical Clinic, Dr. Michael Lynch and Patricia Lipinski, FNP, who recognized a financial need within their patient population and local community that was not being met by other organizations or federal programs. They saw a growing number of patients who were unable to afford medical care, purchase medications, pay for medically related transportation or even buy food and supplies essential to health.
One day, an elderly woman came into the clinic seeking care because she had lost a lot of weight. They asked her if she was eating, and she said yes. Then they asked her what she was eating, and she admitted that she was living on cat food from the dollar store because she couldn't afford her life-saving medications and groceries. Only a few days later, St. Luke's Medical Foundation was born...to help her and others like her to meet the needs that are crucial to health and well-being.
