Grant Program

El Camino Healthcare District offers grants and sponsorships to organizations that address specific health needs in our community.

Each year, El Camino Healthcare District commits resources for community health promotion and disease prevention, particularly to support community members when they experience vulnerability and health challenges. Through our Community Benefit Program, grants and sponsorships are awarded to programs that meet specific health needs and serve individuals who live, work, or go to school in the District.
