Advocate Bethany Hospital Community Health Fund Awards 27 Grants

Advocate Health Care and Advocate Charitable Foundation announced the inaugural grant recipients from the Advocate Bethany Hospital Community Health Fund. The Fund will provide a collective $14 million through 2020 to support local efforts to build, promote and sustain healthy communities on Chicago’s West Side.

Twenty-seven organizations and the thousands of individuals they serve will benefit from the combined total $1 million in grants this year.  The Fund seeks organizations that target health and wellness in five West Side communities: Austin, Humboldt Park, East and West Garfield Park, and North Lawndale.

The Fund was created as part of Advocate Health Care’s longstanding commitment to communities that have been served by Bethany Hospital for more than 85 years. The mission of the Fund is to address unique health needs by funding community-based efforts that target health disparities and promote health and wellness in communities served by Bethany Hospital.
