GRANTS

We’re developing a local grant program to invest in those organizations that deliver health and wellness services.

STEPPING UP FOR BETTER HEALTH

In west Orange County, we have all the building blocks of good health.

We have recreational infrastructure and year-round sunshine. We have social groups centered on fitness and well-being. We have one of the country’s best farmer’s markets, which, along with many of our restaurants and retail, prioritize and promote healthy living.

And yet even here—like so many other cities and towns across the U.S.—there are persistent challenges in achieving overall community health. That’s why we champion, support, and invest in research and initiatives that address the health and wellness needs of our community.
