The Peninsula Health Care District was formed to promote and support the health care services for its residents and others served by the District. Its Mission includes performing duties as the lessor of Peninsula Hospital as well as responding to the local health needs and allocating resources for programs that enhance the health of the community.

The Peninsula Health Care District aims to achieve measurable improvements in the health of its community and the Community Health Grants Program is the cornerstone of this effort. Each year the ad hoc Service Agreement Committee reviews the health needs and priorities of the community within the District’s boundaries and as well as the funding available for the grants program. The grants program funds are used to support nonprofit community-based agencies, programs, and services that are reflective of, and responsive to, the identified priority needs within the community.

Purpose of the Community Health Grants Program
The purpose of the Peninsula Health Care District’s Community Health Grants Program is to invest in nonprofit, community focused programs, services, and interventions that serve to improve the health status of district residents. The District uses a comprehensive definition of health to include those behaviors, programs, activities, and support that promote and protect the physical, psychological, and social well-being of an individual, a family, and a community.
