Bronson Health Foundation Community Health Initiatives
Bronson Health Foundation is committed to helping create a stronger, more connected future for our health system and region. Our staff and leadership are on a journey to better understand how we can contribute to addressing long-standing challenges and ensure that our decisions actively support the well-being of all members of our community. The Foundation proudly invests in and supports initiatives that move us toward that goal. These initiatives include:
Ensuring Babies and Mothers Get Their Best Start
- Community Health Workers - team members dedicated to building relationships in the community to reduce infant mortality rates
- Mothers' Milk Bank - when a new mother is unable to provide breast milk, pasteurized milk from a healthy donor is the next best thing.
- Sleep Sacks - each infant born at Bronson BirthPlace - Battle Creek is provided a sleep sack to ensure they have their safest start.
Advocating for Families
- Camp Catch-A-Rainbow - provides the opportunity for children undergoing cancer treatment or in remission to have a camp experience free-of-charge. Additionally, Bronson doctors and nurses volunteer their own time to provide 24-hour access to health care professionals to meet the cancer care needs of these campers.
- Childhood Injury Prevention - educational programs to keep kids safe
- Patient Assistance Fund - a fund that supports patients with out-of-pocket medical needs.
- SNAP-Ed - an organization dedicated to providing nutrition and health education to local families.
