In 2022, U.P. Lions Serve Childhood Cancer was chosen as the SHF 2022 Gala partner, receiving more than $15,000 in grant funding. It will be used to help with travel and medical costs for families who need to travel for care, support development of a camp for pediatric patients and their families at Bay Cliff Health Camp, and support Kids Kicking Cancer, a non-profit that empowers children to manage pain and stress through martial arts and meditation.

Who is the Superior Health Foundation?

The Superior Health Foundation (SHF) is a conversion 501c(3) foundation that materialized on September 1st, 2012, following Duke LifePoint’s acquisition of Marquette General Health System. Its mission is to assist with unmet healthcare needs, with health education, and with programs and research on preventing illness and promoting health.

That mission includes supporting the unmet healthcare needs of the indigent and uninsured, healthcare education programs, programs and research which have the primary purpose of preventing and reducing illness and disease, and other programs to promote the health, education and welfare of the community.

Thank you, Superior Health Foundation for your continued support and partnership!
