The First 10 Years

We're celebrating a decade of working together for a healthy community...and this is just the beginning.

View a four-minute video of Frances Sheehan, foundation president & CEO, discussing the foundation's first 10 years and beyond.

Join us in celebrating the Brandywine Health Foundation 10th Anniversary, the Brandywine Consignment Shop’s 20th anniversary next spring, and the Strawberry Festival’s “BIG 40” in June 2012! Follow our year of celebrations on Facebook. Become a fan!

Despite our great strides since 2001, we have in no way finished what we started out to do: to improve access to primary care – including oral and behavioral health services – for the poor and uninsured, and to reduce racial and ethnic health outcome disparities, such as the high rate of low-birthweight African-American babies. Our youth-oriented focus also resulted in the launch of the Coatesville Youth Initiative; the creation of the summer youth ServiceCorps, which offers meaningful employment and skills training to 40 teenagers and more.

With so many opportunities to give of your charitable time and generous support, we hope you will view our efforts to be relevant, worthwhile and rewarding as we do. We promise to make you proud of your association with the foundation, please join us or continue to support us with your time, talent and treasure!
