THE HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION RAISES FUNDS IN SUPPORT OF UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES IN OUR REGION, FROM NORTHERN SANTA ROSA TO THE MENDOCINO BORDER. WITH A COMMITMENT TO INCREASING HEALTH EQUITY, WE FOCUS OUR GRANT SUPPORT ON EQUITABLE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. IN 2024 WE CONTINUED OUR SUPPORT FOR LOCAL HEALTH CLINICS AND GRASSROOTS COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS THAT FOCUS ON LOW-INCOME, VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. WE ALSO CONTINUED TO FUND SCHOLARSHIPS FOR BILINGUAL, BICULTURAL MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS WHO AGREE TO STAY IN OUR AREA AND SERVE IN CLINICS, SCHOOLS, AND NONPROFITS TO ADDRESS THE EXTREME SHORTAGE OF BILINGUAL PROVIDERS, AND TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH.
