About Centra Foundation

Supporting high quality care for our community.  

Our approach

Established in 1993, our mission is to develop and direct resources for the support of Centra Health. A not-for-profit regional healthcare system, Centra provides care to over 500,000 people at over 50 locations annually. Through your generosity, we have provided more than $110 million in support of Centra programs, making an incredible impact on patients and families who turn to Centra for care.
 


Questions about community grants? In 2020, Centra moved its community grant giving from the Centra Foundation to Centra's Department of Community Health
