Bridging the Gap Between Community & Healthcare
Mission: to assist with improving the health and wellbeing of people who live and work in Hancock County, especially people whose unique healthcare needs have not been met because of unforeseen circumstances.
We step in wherever there is a need.
The Hancock Health Foundation is passionate and relentless in our goal of making sure Hancock County’s healthcare needs are met. Our projects truly run the gamut across the community. Whether we’re donating life-saving equipment to our local hospital, ensuring that our most vulnerable citizens have access to nutritious meals or sponsoring mammograms for women without insurance, we truly believe that there is no need too great or small.
