Gateway

Our Foundation

The Gateway Medical Foundation is a non-profit, 501 3 (c) organization. We function as the fundraising arm of the Sedgwick County Health Center. The Foundation is made up of eight (8) board members who meet at noon every 4th Wednesday of the month to plan and organize community events that will assist the health center in making equipment purchases, upgrades to the campus,and health center staff support. Annual events include our 4-person scramble golf tournament held each summer at the Sedgwick County Golf Course in Julesburg, along with other fundraising events throughout the year. Every holiday season, a year in review letter campaign goes out to residents of Sedgwick and Deuel Counties.

Gateway also sponsors and maintains a Company Store where staff and community members can purchase merchandise branded with both the Gateway Medical Foundation and Sedgwick County Health Center logos. Please head over to: Sedgwick County Health Center | Official Merchandise | Bonfire to browse and shop!

New for 2026, we are planning a 5k fun run/walk that will begin and end at the Sedgwick County Health Center campus on Cedar Street. This event is slated to take place in the spring.

Your donations are tax deductable, and any and all amounts of giving are greatly appreciated!
