About Health Care Foundation

A defining feature of The Health Care Foundation’s recent giving is its recurring support for Community Health Partners in Longview, including a $100,000 operations grant in 2025 and earlier awards for free medical clinic, dentures, and related clinic support. That pattern fits the foundation’s stated mission: promoting the physical and mental health and health care of people living within the service area of the Longview acute care hospital. The foundation funds local health care organizations, community groups, and public charities serving Cowlitz and Wahkiakum counties. Recent grants show attention to direct services and practical health access needs, from medical care and mental health support to dental work, emergency prescription assistance, vision and hearing care, and treatment for substance use disorder. It also backs projects that strengthen delivery capacity, including equipment purchases and operations support. The recent grants list shows steady support for organizations serving Longview and nearby communities. Community-based providers, hospitals, and nonprofit service agencies appear alongside groups focused on health access for people experiencing homelessness, low-income residents, and others needing direct medical help. The foundation also supports nursing education and first responder medical training, indicating interest in the local health system as well as patient-facing services.

What Health Care Foundation Funds

In primary care and clinic support, The Health Care Foundation backed Community Health Partners with $85,000 for a free medical clinic and $70,000 for dentures in 2024, along with other clinic-related awards in the recent grants list. It also funded Fish of Cowlitz County with $39,700 for medical assistance in 2023 and $30,000 in 2024. Behavioral health and trauma services also appear in the grant record. In 2025, the foundation gave $65,000 to Hello Life Eating Disorder for an eating disorder program, and in 2023 it awarded $17,500 to Children’s Justice & Advocacy Center for trauma counseling. For housing and homelessness-related needs, it supported Children’s Community Resources with $87,666 for health for homeless in 2023 and Community House with $60,000 in 2024 for assistance with homeless shelters. It also funded Family Promise of Kelso with $50,000 for housing assistance.
