Sentara Health Foundation

Community Benefit Sponsorship

Sentara Healthcare's mission of improving health every day is carried out through our partnerships with dozens of nonprofit groups. Sentara teams up with them to fund numerous programs throughout the Hampton Roads area.

In 2007, the Sentara Health Foundation provided $165,770 to more than 50 nonprofit organizations, associations and institutions. In an effort to improve community health, Sentara assisted in fundraising efforts and supported education and prevention activities, as well as other important initiatives.
