Union Health Foundation Grants

Grants That Create a Lasting Impact

Every gift to Union Health Foundation helps turn innovative ideas into meaningful improvements for our patients, caregivers and communities.

Through strategic grantmaking, Union Health Foundation invests in projects that strengthen patient care, improve access to services, advance innovation and address our community's evolving health needs.

From equipment and patient comfort initiatives to community health programs and workforce development, Foundation grants make it possible to bring ideas to life that might not otherwise be funded.

Stories of Impact

Each year, Foundation grants help transform ideas into action by supporting projects that improve patient care, strengthen our workforce and enhance the health of our communities.

Pharmacy Pick-Up Kiosk

Improving patient flow, one prescription at a time.

Thanks to Foundation support, Union Health implemented a secure pharmacy pickup kiosk that allows co-workers to quickly retrieve prescriptions while freeing pharmacists to focus on patients preparing for discharge. The result is faster discharges, improved patient safety and more time for medication counseling when it matters most.
