The Brandywine Health Foundation Mission

The Brandywine Health Foundation formed in 2001 as a public charity, headquartered in the City of Coatesville in beautiful Chester County, Pennsylvania. In just ten years the foundation has made over $10 million in grants, contributions and scholarships – all targeted to the toughest health problems in the greater Coatesville area.

The focus of these grants has been primarily on strengthening the safety net of healthcare providers in the area serving those with little or no health insurance by bringing a health center to Coatesville, helping a dental center get started, and partnering with the local school district to bring behavioral health services to the community.

In addition to direct grants, the foundation secured over $13 million in financing and donations to build the Brandywine Center, a health and housing center in the heart of Coatesville. Building on these successes, the foundation launched the Coatesville Youth Initiative two years to address the broader health needs of young people.
