Who We Are

What is today the Community Health Fund came into being in 1997 when the merger that created John Muir Health called for developing and funding an independent “community health benefit nonprofit corporation.” Since our inception, we have been dedicated to supporting programs that improve the health of medically uninsured and underserved populations in central and east Contra Costa County.

An appointed, ten-member, board of directors governs the Community Health Fund. John Muir Health, a not-for-profit health system, provides funding for our grant program and program-related operations.
