Gundersen Medical Foundation

Gundersen Medical Foundation Together, we’re improving patient care and the health of our communities. Each year we receive thousands of gifts in support of our programs.

We are committed to improving the health of individuals and families, and we’ve been doing just that for over 60 years. An environment permeated by education, research, and technology, all to enhance patient care, makes Gundersen’s healthcare a source of pride. With these funds, Gundersen Medical Foundation continues to offer innovative programs and project assistance to researchers, medical profe

ssionals, and dedicated teachers. With Foundation support, patients are cared for, medicine is taught, and healthy living is encouraged at Gundersen.

After losing her mother, Charlene Elderkin spent years searching for a way to help patients at the end of life beyond medicine. It was attending an end-of-life conference and meeting a woman who played harp at the bedside that gave her the answer she needed. Today, Charlene is a therapeutic musician at Emplify Health by Gundersen, helping ease the transition for patients and their families.
