Medical

A recent study conducted by Lake County revealed an urgent need for local healthcare options to:

• Treat obesity
• Treat diabetes
• Treat substance abuse
• Increase local access to primary care (medical, dental, Rx)
• Increase access to better food and nutrition

Working closely with Orlando Health and South Lake Hospital, we identify and fund programs and initiatives that:

• Answer these and other needs
• Are located here in South Lake County, making it easier for local residents to get quality healthcare

Social Determinants of Health

The programs we fund align with categories of Social Determinants of Health, a model of the components that affect personal health.

• Significant reductions in the percentages South Lake County youth and adults with mental health issues
• Significant reductions in annual emergency room visits
