Western Missouri Medical Center Foundation

Western Missouri Medical Center Foundation We focus on giving advanced tools & resources necessary for WMMC to provide high-quality local care. The WMMC Foundation was established in 1984.

In 2015 the WMMC Foundation began a reinvigoration process. In addition to adding Board members, part of the seven committees were formed, currently comprised of more than 70 community leaders. Each committee is charged with answering the call to meet the growing health care needs of those we serve – our families, our friends and our neighbors. This reorganization will sharpen our focus in the specific areas of philanthropy and donor stewardship.

We did it! 💗 The Empower Through Early Detection campaign has officially reached its $855,000 fundraising goal!

This is a huge milestone for WMMC and our community — and it was made possible because of the incredible generosity of our donors, supporters, and advocates.

Because of your support, WMMC is strengthening breast cancer care by investing in advanced imaging technology that will help support earlier detection, enhanced care, and better patient experiences for years to come.

A special thank you to our anonymous donor who helped us cross the finish line and to Rich and Debbie Lawson for their generous matching gift that inspired additional community support.

The next step? Celebrating this incredible accomplishment! WMMC will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony following installation of the remaining equipment in fall 2026. Additional details will be announced as plans are finalized.

While we celebrate reaching this goal, the work to advance healthcare continues. WMMC and the WMMC Foundation remain committed to identifying future opportunities where community support can help strengthen services and meet the needs of our patients and families.

Thank you for helping empower early detection and investing in the future of healthcare in our community. 💗

Ever wondered what happens behind the doors at Western Missouri Medical Center? ✨

The WMMC Foundation recently gave community members a special behind-the-scenes tour of Western Missouri Medical Center—and the response was incredible.

Guests walked through our facilities, saw the latest technology and services in action, and met the dedicated teams who bring compassionate care to life every day. From advanced equipment to the people behind it all, the tour offered a closer look at how care is delivered right here in our community.

It was also a chance to see how WMMC continues to grow and evolve to meet local healthcare needs—and how support through the Foundation helps make that possible. Every gift helps enhance patient care, expand services, and invest in the future of healthcare in western Missouri.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day such a success. 💙

Our WMMC providers don’t just care for patients—they help invest in the future of healthcare. 💗

Dr. Giurgius, a board-certified general surgeon at Western Missouri Medical Center with fellowship training in minimally invasive and bariatric surgery, supports the WMMC Foundation because he believes in advancing patient care and improving lives through access to exceptional healthcare.

“The Foundation’s commitment to patient-centered care, community service, and medical excellence aligns closely with my professional values and goals.”

Every day, Dr. Giurgius helps patients achieve better health outcomes through compassionate, advanced surgical care. Through his support of the Foundation, he is helping ensure WMMC can continue investing in the technology, services, and resources that strengthen care for our entire community.

The WMMC Foundation is strengthened by a close and collaborative partnership with hospital leadership — and no one exemplifies that connection more than WMMC CEO & President Darinda Dick.

Since supporting the revitalization of the Foundation in 2016, Darinda has remained one of its most engaged advocates. Her involvement goes well beyond leadership oversight, as she actively participates in Foundation committees, assists with committee recruitment and fundraising efforts, and regularly provides executive updates to Foundation ambassadors. She also plays a key role in strengthening meaningful relationships between the hospital and the community we serve.

Darinda is highly involved in the Major & Special Gifts Committee and is consistently present at fundraising events and initiatives, where she engages with donors and supporters.

She also co-leads many of the Foundation’s Behind-the-Scenes Hospital Tours, offering community members a transparent, firsthand look at the operations of an independent rural hospital. These tours create space for education, collaboration, and open dialogue, helping guests better understand local healthcare and share feedback directly.

Her support extends personally as well, as she is a CAREgiver donor and a member of the Pillar Society, the Foundation’s major giving club.

Darinda is often one of the first points of contact for individuals seeking support or resolution, helping ensure concerns are addressed and care is continually improved at WMMC. Through her leadership, she reflects a strong commitment to compassion, accessibility, and service to both patients and the broader community.

Behind the Scenes at WMMC ✨

The WMMC Foundation recently welcomed Pillar Members and prospective members for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Western Missouri Medical Center.

Guests got a firsthand look inside WMMC and the care, technology, and teamwork that support our community every day.

The tour was led by WMMC President & CEO Darinda Dick, who shared insight into WMMC’s continued growth, the future of healthcare in our region, and how community partnership continues to shape what’s possible.

From innovative technology to the dedicated teams behind patient care, the experience highlighted the impact of local investment in healthcare.

As a rural hospital, WMMC is proud to serve Johnson County, and the WMMC Foundation is honored to partner in supporting that mission.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special experience—and for your continued support of WMMC and the WMMC Foundation. 💙

Some people give because they’ve seen the impact—year after year. 💗

For Rich and Debbie Lawson, that impact spans decades of supporting healthcare in our community.

“My experience with WMMC goes back to the early 1970s when the hospital was working to expand. What was once a small hospital has grown into something much more—now home to outstanding physicians and staff dedicated to healing and saving lives. That’s one of the most important things a community can have.

When the hospital began investing in advanced technology like a PET/CT scanner and early detection tools for breast cancer, it made perfect sense to support those efforts. We have great doctors—let’s make sure they have the best equipment possible. I may not be trained to heal, but I can help by giving to support those who are.”

Today, Rich and Debbie are helping lead the way forward.

💗 They are generously matching all gifts up to $50,000—doubling the impact of every donation.

We’re currently at 60 donors, with a goal of 100—and every gift brings us closer.

Your gift today goes twice as far in supporting life-saving technology through the Empower Through Early Detection Campaign.
