Barton Health Grants

For the health of everyone in our community

Each year the Barton Foundation works diligently with the Community Health Advisory Committee (CHAC) to expand the reach of its philanthropy by allocating $50,000 to fund projects through its Barton Health Grants. Comprised of representatives from education, fire, police, public utilities, area non-profits, public health, and the medical community, the Community Health Advisory Committee (CHAC) works to identify unmet health needs of the communities served by the hospital and participates in the development and implementation of projects and programs designed to serve these groups.

The grants are awarded to community non-profits who address imminent needs as identified by the 2018 Community Health Needs Assessment. These include mental health, substance abuse and access to healthcare services. Since 2009, when the Barton Health Grants were introduced, the Barton Foundation has allocated $300,000 to support community health improvement.

Accrued interest from Barton’s Community Health Endowment is used to provide funds to Barton for the Barton Health Grants.
