Creating Pathways to Better Health

BHHS Legacy Foundation works to help communities in ways that make them healthier for everyone. Our goal is to improve the population’s health and prepare the state’s workforce through highly effective programs and services. The following focus areas guide us in this mission.

Increase Access to Healthcare

Well-being stems from a network of professionals, treatments, and services that help people to thrive. We invest in resources that increase and improve access to healthcare through medical, mental health, and oral health services for high-risk, underserved, and uninsured populations.
