About Mount Carmel Health System
Mount Carmel Health System gives through a supporting organization built to benefit the health system itself, with grantmaking tied to patient care, community health, and service for underserved residents in Central Ohio. The recent record shows that pattern clearly: the largest award went to Lower Lights Christian Health Center Inc. for community benefit, while Heart of Ohio Family Health Center also received a substantial community-benefit grant. Other major grants supported the American Heart Association, the Charitable Pharmacy of Central Ohio, and The Bridge Corporation in Westerville, indicating a mix of healthcare access, prevention, and community support. The foundation also uses donor-directed and program-specific vehicles alongside general support, including scholarships for nursing students and funded partnerships such as Moms2B and the Welcome Home Program. Its stated mission is to heal patients and improve the health of the communities served, with a particular commitment to underserved populations. In practice, that means the grantmaking stays close to healthcare delivery, maternal and child health, preventive services, and workforce development for nursing.
What Mount Carmel Health System Funds
Healthcare access is a central theme. Mount Carmel Health System gave $97,660 to Lower Lights Christian Health Center Inc. for community benefit and $75,000 to Heart of Ohio Family Health Center for the same purpose, both in Columbus. Maternal and child health is another clear focus: the foundation supports Moms2B in Franklinton, a partnership that provides expectant mothers with health assessments, peer support, nutrition support, education, and referrals. It also funds the Welcome Home Program, which offers free nurse home visits after delivery. Nursing education appears through scholarship activity, including the Trinity Scholarship and the Compassion Scholarship, both tied to Mount Carmel College of Nursing students. Preventive health shows up in support for the von Zychlin Healthy Living Center programs, which include group fitness, cooking and nutrition classes, and health coaching.
