Formed from the proceeds of the sale of Lincoln General Hospital, the Community Health Endowment has grown from nearly $38 million in 1998 to more than $62 million today. During that span, the endowment has invested more than $32 million in grants back into the community to support health in Lincoln.

The Community Health Endowment’s goal is for Lincoln to be the healthiest community in the nation.
