Since 1996, the Grossmont Healthcare District has supported various local nonprofit health and wellness organizations through grants and sponsorships to meet the unmet healthcare needs of more than 520,000 in East County. This 2025-26 grant year, we’re increasing our award amount to $4 million to address priority community health needs involving direct, hands-on patient care, emphasizing aging concerns, behavioral health, chronic conditions, and/or factors that contribute to these areas.
