Our Policy
The Peninsula Health Care District exists to address the health needs of its residents.
It carries this out through a vigilant monitoring of resident health and seeks opportunities to promote health, ensure access to needed health services, and achieve equity in health outcomes.
It achieves this through a variety of health investment strategies from directly providing services and facilities for needed programs, to partnering with service providers through funding support, to community-based organizations that address the identified needs of our residents.
The Community Grants Program is one of the strategies the District employs to address the health needs of its residents.
Our Approach
ThePeninsula Health Care District seeks organizations that share our vision to support our residents in achieving their optimal health and wellness through education, prevention and access to basic health services.
We view funding as a partnership. We acknowledge that each community has different strengths and challenges, and we work to tailor our support accordingly. The Community Grants Program seeks innovative programs that:
· Improve the health of our residents as measured by desired measurable outcomes
· Emphasize a preventive approach
· Address health disparities
· Leverage additional funding to support the program
· Collaborate with other agencies or local government
What We Support
Every year the District Board identifies the most pressing community health needs and establishes funding priorities for the grant term. We do this through local reports and assessments and by participating in County-wide collaboratives and commissions.
