San Juan Medical Foundation

What San Juan Medical Foundation does

San Juan Medical Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1985 and headquartered in Farmington, New Mexico, that enhances the health and well-being of residents in the Four Corners region (New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Utah). The foundation operates five core programs: the Connelly Hospitality House (free lodging for cancer patients traveling more than 50 miles for treatment in Farmington, opened February 2000); the Cathy Lincoln Memorial Cancer Fund (financial assistance for women 18+ in San Juan County for cancer-related expenses); the Riley Men's Health Fund (financial assistance for men's health needs, established 2004); the Pure Bliss Family Resource Center (cancer education resources inside San Juan Regional Cancer Center, established 2008); and the Building Wings Children's Fund (pediatric facility upgrades at San Juan Regional Medical Center).

The foundation is funded through a diversified donation and event-based revenue model spanning individual donations, corporate and foundation grants, planned giving and endowments (including the Mary Dugan Giving Society), corporate event sponsorships, and signature fundraising events such as the 46th Annual Walkathon, the Women's Cancer Awareness Luncheon & Style Show (25th anniversary in 2025), the 8th Annual Side x Side Raffle, and the Offroad Prom ("La Noche Encantada"). Services are delivered free of charge to eligible beneficiaries. Operations are volunteer-driven (most workforce is volunteer) with a small paid staff of 1-10 led by Executive Director Audra Winters and a volunteer board of directors. The foundation maintains core strategic partnerships with San Juan Regional Medical Center, San Juan Regional Cancer Center, and San Juan Oncology Associates for patient referrals and co-located service delivery. There is no proprietary technology platform; the organization's technology footprint is limited to a website, Instagram presence, email newsletters, and event registration pages.
