The Organization. We are a community health and education foundation. Our mission is to measurably improve fundamental wellness in the Muskegon-Lakeshore area. We do this by addressing four key needs: access to healthcare, nutrition, physical activity, and a sense of belonging. We offer community health grants, medical education scholarships, CME for healthcare providers, and a program for high school students of all backgrounds who would like to become physicians. If you’d like to be involved in multifaceted work that makes a difference in our community’s health and healthcare, read on.

· We work with a variety of healthcare providers, members, and students. You’ll need to be a stickler for details, actively follow up, and deliver excellent customer service.
