The Trumbull Memorial Health Foundation partners with the community to achieve health equity by investing in and serving as a catalyst for systemic change, leading to improved public health and quality of life for all residents of Trumbull County, Ohio.
The Foundation recognizes that residents experience different degrees of health based on the structures, cultures and geographies in which they are situated. For example, some problems are experienced more intensely by different racial or ethnic populations; rural or urban communities; women; LGBTQAI+ persons; or people with disabilities. Therefore, the varying size and scope of the grants will reflect the different depths and complexities of these barriers to ensure all residents can equitably achieve and maintain health and well-being.
