Our Mission
The Medical Foundation is a nonprofit, public health and medical research funding organization committed to helping people live healthier lives and creating healthy communities through prevention, health promotion and research.
For nearly half a century The Medical Foundation has worked with academic medical research institutions, health organizations, community coalitions and neighborhood groups, state and local governments, the faith community, and youth serving organizations to create grant programs to support medical research as well as identify and address important health issues in innovative ways.
Our Background
The Medical Foundation was established in 1957 by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the United Way to support medical research and health education. Since our inception, our focus has grown to include chronic disease, substance abuse prevention, environmental health, behavioral health, health communications, information and referral, assessment and evaluation and youth development.
As a non-profit organization we are supported by state and federal government contracts, foundation grants, individual contributions, the United Way of Massachusetts Bay, bank trusts and fee for service revenues.
Our Values
The Medical Foundation’s work with individuals and within communities is guided by four core values:
- Excellence in setting the standard and producing the highest quality product or service.
- Innovation in leading the way and stretching creative boundaries.
- Diversity in organizational practices resulting in culturally competent services, programs, and hiring policies that appreciate the strength offered through differing cultures, races, ethnicities, classes, and sexual orientations.
- Flexibility and responsiveness to new opportunities and emerging trends.
