Epworth Medical Foundation

The Epworth Medical Foundation raises essential funds to ensure that our patients receive the best possible care.

Epworth Medical Foundation (EMF) is a philanthropic trust, raising much-needed funds to ensure patients at Epworth receive the best possible care.

Epworth HealthCare is Victoria’s largest not-for-profit private hospital group, renowned for excellence in diagnosis, treatment, care and rehabilitation. Founded in 1920, Epworth has been an innovator for more than 100 years, embracing the latest in evidence-based medicine to pioneer treatments and provide excellent, compassionate care for our patients, who are the focus in all that we do.

Funds raised by EMF help staff and patients across Epworth's seven world-class hospital sites, including giving patients access to world-class facilities and equipment, care from leading specialists, early access to ground-breaking research trials and compassionate programs for social and emotional well-being.

Thanks to our donors, we have successfully been doing this for 100 years. With your help, we will continue to do so for many decades to come.
