About the Foundation

As members of the Lancaster, Pennsylvania community, Jane Barsumian and Mary Lyons fulfilled their desires to provide support to the medical community by creating funds that would make grants to organizations conducting medical research. In 1998, the trust established by Ms. Lyons was combined with the trust established by Ms. Barsumian.
