DeKalb Memorial Hospital is a not-for-profit independent healthcare facility dedicated to providing high quality healthcare services to the citizens in and around DeKalb County, Indiana.

A Heritage of Giving

In 1960, DeKalb Health Foundation was established with the remaining funds donated from local citizens to build a hospital for the residents of DeKalb County. Since that time our foundation directors have diligently managed the funds to help support DeKalb Health for the future.
Our future.

For the past 50 years, our hospital foundation contributed over $2.5 million for hospital improvement and expansion, as well as funding essential medical equipment. More importantly, these funds help preserve DeKalb Health as an independent, not-for-profit hospital and innovative leader in healthcare for the members of our community.
