What information did the Foundation consider when developing its goals, structure and grantmaking priorities?
The Foundation’s goals and structure are based on an analysis of statewide health data and community input. The Foundation examined the magnitude and severity of existing health problems; national, state and local health trends; and community assets and promising programs. Communities throughout the state provided the Foundation with evidence of local health problems, public demand for action, and effective local programs and policies. As a result, the Foundation’s grantmaking priorities reflect the state’s health needs with a focus on enabling better health care access by underserved individuals and communities.
