United Health Centers Foundation

The UHC Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing resources to improve the health and quality of life of our communities. The UHC Foundation was established to support community programs that extend beyond the scope of primary healthcare services in rural communities. Today, the UHC Foundation continues this legacy by investing in community wellness outside of our care center walls, and within them.

Donations will support premier medical, dental, vision and specialty care services at United Health Centers, will help break down barriers to accessing life-saving medical care, and will grow and develop future primary care clinicians through our provider teaching and training programs.
