Community Partnership Grants

WellSpan Health is committed to endeavors that improve the health status of the communities and people we serve.  That's why we have a Community Partnership Grant Program that supports health-related community activities through cash contributions.  Non-profit community agencies are eligible for these grants.  To be considered, agencies must submit a written request for "Partnership Grant" funding, not to exceed $50,000.  Programs should:

• Be consistent with WellSpan Health's vision to improve the health and well being of the people we serve. Health is broadly defined as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being ... a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capabilities.
  
  
• Be relevant to the health status needs as identified in the WellSpan Community Health Assessment. (Issues such as community violence, uninsured families, and limited access to health care services.)
  
  
• Demonstrate innovation and community collaboration whenever possible.
  
  
• Include activities that improve health status in a measurable way based on the health status indicators identified in the WellSpan Community Health Assessment.
  
  
• Relate to the Healthy York County Coalition and Healthy Adams County Community Health Assessments.
