Our Foundation

Welcome to the Masonic Family Health Foundation
The Masonic Family Health Foundation's Mission is steeped in the Masonic fraternity's ideals of Faith, Hope, and Charity
Our foundation has a long history with Chicago, the Union Hospital, and what is now Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. The Center for Advanced Care pictured below enables Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center to expand and centralize cancer care, digestive health and surgery services into one location, creating improved access to care, continuity among disciplines, enhanced efficiencies and a better overall experience for patients and their families. The Masonic Family Health Foundation participated in seeing the completion of this incredible addition to the AIMMC campus in 2015.
