Mission

Georgetown Health Foundation generates and accelerates positive change in our Community’s health.

Mission Philosophy

The Foundation works collaboratively with its community to improve the health of Georgetown residents through partnerships, experience, knowledge, and funding.

 

 

Vision

We imagine our Community as one in which all are empowered to build and sustain healthy, productive lives and we believe the health of Georgetown residents is influenced by the environment in which they live.

Vision Philosophy

Georgetown Health Foundation agrees with the World Health Organization’s definition of health as ‘a complete state of physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of infirmity.

We believe the social determinants of health (SDoH) are powerful influencers on this comprehensive definition of health.

“The social determinants of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life. These forces and systems include economic policies and systems, development agendas, social norms, social policies and political systems.”

 

Priorities

Due to the impact of COVID-19, GHF funding in 2021 will prioritize basic needs, as well as social determinants of health supporting such basic needs.  Our current funding priorities are:

PRIORITY 1. BASIC NEEDS – Physiological

PRIORITY 2. BASIC NEEDS – Safety AND Social Determinants of Health Directly Related to Priorities 1 & 2

PRIORITY 3. Social Determinants of Health Supporting Priorities 1 & 2

Post-pandemic, GHF plans to continue to pursue strategic priorities informed by our community-based research.  To learn more about these community recommendations, please click here to explore the links.
