Park Nicollet Foundation

Park Nicollet Foundation is the philanthropic foundation of Park Nicollet Health Services, part of the HealthPartners system, raising charitable gifts for patient care and research across the Twin Cities. Gifts are directed to named program areas rather than general operations, among them cancer care at the HealthPartners Frauenshuh Cancer Center, women's health, eating disorder treatment at the Melrose Center, Parkinson's care at the Struthers Parkinson's Center, hospice and palliative care, and medical research and education. Park Nicollet covers the foundation's administrative costs, so a gift goes to the program area the donor chooses. The foundation also receives proceeds from community fundraising events run in partnership with outside organizers.
