Since its founding in 1985, the Foundation has awarded over $900,000 to over 780 local students seeking careers in nursing, physical therapy, respiratory therapy, medical research, pharmacy, athletic training, and other academic majors.
Addressing Social Needs of the Wabash Valley
Union Health Foundation, United Way of the Wabash Valley, and the Wabash Valley Community Foundation are partnering with Terre Haute Police Department to launch an innovative pilot program incorporating an embedded social worker into the department.
The program aims to reduce the number of repeat calls and welfare checks the department receives while connecting individuals in need with services in the community. The public-private partnership involving all four entities funds the program for three years.
