Here at Russell Medical Foundation, we believe that philanthropy is an incredible way of displaying compassion and we strive to build long term relationships within our community and our hospital. A contribution made to Russell Medical Foundation is a contribution made to improve the lives of the residents of Alexander City and the Lake Martin areas.
A donation in honor of someone special is a meaningful way to express your appreciation. This is a great way to pay tribute to a special physician or nurse, or commemorate the birth of a baby.
Memorial gifts provide a special and lasting tribute to the memory of a friend or loved one.
Your gifts do make a difference in the lives of our patients and the well-being of our community. Donations of all levels are appreciated and giving allows you to become a friend of Russell Medical and to share in enhancing patient care and health services
