Empowering Families. Nurturing the Future.
Every child deserves a healthy start. The Healthy Beginnings Endowment Fund at Concord Hospital Trust is dedicated to supporting mothers, children, and young families throughout our community.
Founded in 1996 by Dr. Oglesby Young, this fund ensures that when new parents leave The Family Place at Concord Hospital, they have the resources, education, and community support they need to raise healthy, happy children.
Our Impact
Since its inception, the Healthy Beginnings Endowment has distributed more than $1.1 million to local non-profits. We focus on the critical years from birth to age five, funding programs that:
- Enhance maternal and women’s health;
- Provide parenting education and support groups;
- Promote healthy childhood development;
- Coordinate local health services to ensure no family falls through the cracks.
