Celebrating 10 years and over $10 million in grants and gifts distributed in the greater Coatesville area…and we’ve only just begun!

Setting the bar as high as possible, the foundation plays a pivotal role in assisting our grantees by creatively recognizing solutions and promising advances throughout the country, and in building local partnerships that maximize program development. We are proud to be able to work with so many talented service providers and community leaders.

The next decade will present us with many opportunities to continue to improve our community’s health. We welcome your participation as we work together to bridge the healthcare gap in Chester County. Please give us a call or contact any of our staff to share your thoughts.

Together we will make the greater Coatesville area the healthiest community in Chester County!

We Need Nurses!

The foundation is doing its share to encourage more people to enter the nursing profession but we’d like to do more.  Financial barriers can prevent qualified individuals from even applying to nursing school in the first place and yet we know that with an aging population, more and more nurses will be needed in the coming years to improve health outcomes.

Ten nursing scholarships are housed at the foundation, which were established by generous individuals in our community, and each year we seek to grow those funds – and to add more.

At events in December, 2010 and May, 2011, ten students at the Brandywine School of Nursing, the West Chester University and Immaculata University Schools of Nursing, and CAT-Brandywine’s Practical Nursing Program received over $14,000 in scholarship funds and graduation awards.
