The enjoyment of good health is fundamentally tied to the quality of life we enjoy here in the Mat-Su Borough.
As such the Mat-Su Health Foundation’s focus in philanthropy is a natural extension of the historical work of
Valley Hospital Association. The Foundation will support qualified non-profit organizations actively working
in the community to improve the health and wellness of Mat-Su Borough residents.
The Mat-Su Health Foundation’s

living in the Mat-Su!
