Mission to Promote Health
With a mission to ‘Create a Culture of Health and Wellness for the Betterment of our Communities,’ the Foundation aims to serve eight counties in the region with a robust $20 million endowment. It will act as a grant-making organization, collaborating with community and hospital foundations without conducting fundraising drives.
Meredith Lambe’s Legacy
