HEALTH

Health Focus Area

The Health focus area aims to improve the overall physical, mental, and emotional well-being of individuals and families in Henderson County. United Way invests in programs that provide access to essential healthcare services, mental health support, and basic needs such as food, hygiene, and safety.

Programs funded in this area work to:

  • Increase access to preventive care, medical treatment, and wellness services
  • Expand support for mental health care, counseling, and crisis intervention
  • Address basic needs that impact health outcomes, such as nutrition, hygiene, and stable housing
  • Promote healthy behaviors and long-term well-being through education and community-based initiatives

United Way is particularly focused on restorative solutions that not only address immediate health concerns but also promote long-term health equity and stability. Funded programs must demonstrate measurable health outcomes and have the ability to improve quality of life across Henderson County.
