$330,000 in Grants to Aid Health Services for Poor
The HealthCare Foundation for Orange County has awarded $330,000 in grants for community-based medical, prenatal and dental services in partnership with three area hospitals.
The money, part of the new foundation’s “Partners for Health Projects,” will augment programs in Santa Ana and Anaheim neighborhoods that deliver health care to low-income families and migrant workers. The projects include money for a van based at the Delhi Center in Santa Ana, and added hours on Saturdays and evenings at an Anaheim maternity program.
This is the first full year of operation for the foundation, which has an endowment of $19 million and supports health programs in central Orange County. It was created last July from the sale of the nonprofit United Western Medical Centers to Tenet Healthcare Corp.
The grants include matching or in-kind contributions from Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian in Newport Beach and St. Joseph Hospital and UC Irvine Medical Center, both in Orange.
