We imagine our community as one in which all are empowered to build and sustain healthy, productive lives.

In Memoriam

GHF is saddened to report that Mr. Kenneth W. Poteete, President Emeritus of GHF, has passed away. He leaves lasting fingerprints on our work as the primary architect in the negotiations with St. David’s HealthCare to create GHF. He will be missed.

Georgetown Health Foundation generates and accelerates positive change in our community’s health.

Our Mission

Mission Philosophy: The Foundation works collaboratively with its community to improve the health of Georgetown residents through partnerships, experience, knowledge, and funding.

We imagine our community as one in which all are empowered to build and sustain healthy, productive lives and we believe the health of Georgetown residents is influenced by the environment in which they live.

Our Vision

Vision Philosophy: Georgetown Health Foundation agrees with the World Health Organization’s definition of health as a complete state of physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of infirmity.
