We like the direction the Superior Health Foundation went in in bestowing grants to local agencies and entities during its fall cycle.

The SHF Board of Directors approved 13 grants totaling $271,549 aimed at improving health across the Upper Peninsula.

These investments will support a variety of projects ranging from EMS training programs to support for pregnant and postpartum women who have experienced trauma.

“Our fall grants program is designed to make a meaningful impact on health across the U.P.,” said Superior Health Foundation CEO Megan Murphy in an agency press release. “By targeting health disparities and improving access, these grants aim to enhance well-being for every Yooper in our region.”
