Fund Background
The Nashoba Valley Health Care Fund was established in 2006 when the Nashoba Valley Medical Center was purchased by Essent Healthcare. The endowment of the medical center was divided between the Community Foundation of North Central Massachusetts and Greater Lowell Community Foundation.

Priority will be given to, but not limited to, proposals pertaining to:
- Prevention of health problems
- Access to healthcare services
- Elder health

- Behavioral health
