The Foundation's Core 4 health priorities
Most, but not all, of the Foundation's funding falls within these broad health categories. Referred to as the Core 4, these priorities are of heightened interest to us, especially as we seek to improve health outcomes and decrease health disparities by supporting community partners across the Palmetto State.
Oral Health
Improving the oral health care system by increasing access, enhancing workforce development and supporting quality and innovation.
Mental Health
Building resilience and well-being for youth and families by strengthening the mental health workforce, improving quality and coordination of mental health care and enhancing collaboration in communities to support families.
Social Determinants of Health
Supporting ways in which health care, public health and social sector stakeholders can take a coordinated action to address individual, community and structural determinants of health equity.
