Continuing a Legacy of Care

A longtime doctor at Trinity Health, Frank Doran was the perfect example of what a physician should be — generous, compassionate and dedicated to his patients. In 1964, several of his friends created the Doran Foundation to benefit Trinity Health Grand Rapids in his honor.

Today, his spirit of giving lives on through the Saint Mary's Foundation because of contributions from people like you.
