Keeping our community healthy

In 2009, we provided $151.7 million and almost 23,797 volunteer hours — sponsoring everything from health initiatives for children to the American Heart Association’s HeartWalk — to stay connected with our community.

Here’s how we did it:

Improving Access to Care

$146,649,664 to people in need, people who might not otherwise be able to afford healthcare

Building Healthy Communities

$2,411,923 for identifying and addressing our community’s health needs

Health Education and Wellness

$2,155,982 to educate people about how their lifestyle choices affect their health

Special Care for Special Needs

$455,525 for those at risk because of age, involvement in a violent relationship, chemical dependence, mental illness, HIV, or socioeconomics
