Local leaders and residents in each community will identify critical health issues in their area and then collaborate with the foundation, utilizing the committed funds, to create lasting, impactful change. Beginning in the Fall of 2016, Lake Worth and The Glades were selected to receive $200,000 a year for the next five years in an effort to improve the health and well-being of local residents.
