The OvationCares Foundation’s mission is to improve health outcomes in communities where people are born, live, learn, work, play, and age. Income disparities have far-reaching consequences on health outcomes and financial stability is a conduit for better access to healthcare, nutritious food, safe housing, and educational opportunities. We believe that by addressing health-related social needs and promoting healthy environments, we can help individuals and communities thrive.
The OvationCares Foundation is the charitable arm of Ovation Healthcare. For 45 years, Ovation Healthcare has served independent healthcare from critical access hospitals to large health systems. Ovation Healthcare provides scale and efficiency to hospital business operations, preserving the focus on patients and the communities in which they live.
OvationCares understands the local healthcare system is only one factor in supporting healthy communities. Social determinants of health, such as access to education, economic stability, and a safe environment, also play a significant role. That’s why we focus on making a collective impact by funding initiatives that support resource scarcities identified through social determinants of health.
