about us


Group Health Cooperative established the Group Health Community Foundation in 1983. We share the roots and vision of Group Health to improve the health of our communities and enhance the Group Health care delivery system.

We take our mission to heart in every aspect of fundraising, programming, and community philanthropy. Our work includes two major areas of focus:

  • Improving the health of children and adolescents
  • Promoting diversity within health care
