Healthy For Life is a program that focuses on the prevention of childhood obesity. It was funded in part by a grant of the Wellness and Prevention Initiative.

Wellness and Prevention Grants are available in St. Joseph Health System California hospital areas.  The foundation provides funding for community based non profit organizations and SJHS hospital affiliated programs.  Funding is granted to initiatives that proactively address strategies to improve health and quality of life for those who cannot afford to pay for health-related services.

Proposals are reviewed for the following emphasis:

  • Wellness and/or prevention
  • Capacity of persons and groups to become self-sufficient
  • Opportunities for innovative health-related education
  • Collaboration and partnership with existing community initiatives
  • Tangible, measurable outcomes
