Meet the Foundation Staff

The Foundation is the bridge between grateful alumni and those critically in need of a helping hand to begin the process of recovery.

The staff at the Betty Ford Center Foundation works to secure the funding that will annually replenish the Financial Assistance Program for patients, build the endowment and underwrite other programs such as the Children's Program and Summer Institute for Medical Students.

As an integral part of the Betty Ford Center, the Foundation's efforts are entirely non-clinical and totally charitable. Call us today with your contribution questions or assistance with planning your gift.

All Foundation staff members can be reached at (800) 434-7365 ext. 4105.
