We are a community-informed health conversion foundation dedicated to measurably improving the health and well-being of individuals, families and communities in our service region, located in Chicago and the western suburbs of Cook County.
As a health conversion foundation, we focus our support within a five-mile radius of MacNeal Hospital in Berwyn, covering 27 zip codes in Chicago and the western suburbs of Cook County. We allocate the majority of our funding to organizations and efforts that address local health needs and drive systemic solutions that improve the quality of life for communities most affected by health inequities in our region.
When woven together, our grantmaking and strategic frameworks that inform our work are iterative and shape our multi-pronged approach to impact health outcomes and opportunities at individual and community levels.
