Our Foundation
Welcome to the circle of friends who help support Mary Lanning Healthcare.
Happy Valentine's Day to friends of Mary Lanning Healthcare Foundation! 
A Legacy of Love: William H. and Alice T. Lanning lost their only child, Mary, who traveled halfway across the United States from Smith College to spend the holidays with her parents in Hastings. During her three-day journey by train, Mary contracted typhoid fever and died several weeks later. In their grief, the Lanning family created a hospital dedicated to the memory of their precious daughter.
The Lannings toured hospitals throughout the United States and Europe before deciding on architectural plans that would allow for the latest treatment methods.
Please join with all of us who appreciate the Lanning legacy gift by donating to the Annual Fund. Keep your local hospital strong and independent.
