Like a tree with its roots reaching into the soil, the Carlisle Area Health & Wellness Foundation has grown into a significant feature of the area's healthcare landscape. The Foundation was created in June 2001 from the sale of the Carlisle Hospital and Health Services, Inc. and the transfer of income from related endowments and trusts. Our focus is to support priority health-centered programs through the awarding of grants and to be proactive in identifying, addressing and funding healthcare challenges in our service area.

With each step in its development, the Foundation has become a stronger catalyst for improved healthcare. By supplying funding for new services, existing systems and program expansions, the Foundation fosters hope in the hearts of thousands whose futures are more promising thanks to the help they receive. With each grant, partnership, initiative and study, CAHWF 's roots reach deeper into Carlisle and the region to foster healthier futures for generations to come.

The Foundation's Board of Trustees and staff welcome your comments and encourage you to use the resources on this site as you look for health-related information and grantmaking opportunities. Please support and join the Foundation in creating a healthier community today.
