Over the next few months, I will be taking field trips to the organizations receiving Better Health Foundation grants and sharing my experiences with you. These learning visits will inform our Foundation’s future grantmaking and deepen our understanding of the nonprofit agencies working to improve our health and well-being.

Today marks the first anniversary of the Better Health Foundation. Our story is just beginning.

The Better Health Foundation came to life with the marriage, or in business terms, the strategic partnership of Genesis Health System and MercyOne. Genesis gifted to us the bulk of our assets to enable grantmaking for programs and services that will help people live longer, healthier lives.
