Who We Are

The Winter Park Health Foundation (WPHF) is a private philanthropic organization dedicated to improving community health, primarily in Eatonville, Maitland, and Winter Park, Florida.

Since becoming WPHF in 1994, we have invested more than $132 million to support projects and organizations that create solutions for health needs where people live, learn, work, and play. 

Our Mission

To improve health in our community through strategic investments and partnerships.

Our Roots

WPHF began as the Winter Park Memorial Hospital Association (WPMHA), a group of community members who built, owned, and operated the hospital that is now AdventHealth Winter Park. After running the hospital for nearly 40 years following its opening in 1955, WPMHA brought in a corporate partner and eventually sold the hospital completely, transitioning into the independent foundation we are today.

Our Impact Narrative

At the Winter Park Health Foundation, we believe every community deserves to thrive through access to care, nutrition, and mental health support. And we know that thriving communities don’t happen by accident. They’re built through collaboration, equity, and shared purpose. 

We invest with intention, walking alongside organizations that drive meaningful change and amplifying partners who advance our commitment to healthier futures. When we convene inspired voices around the same table, transformation takes root. Pathways open, possibilities expand, and the improved health of one becomes a victory for all. 

Our approach is shaped by creativity and guided by decades of experience. We elevate bright ideas and support bold strides forward—sparking ripple effects of health, wellbeing, and opportunity across Eatonville, Maitland, Winter Park, Florida, and beyond. 

Community health is collective prosperity. When one of us thrives, we all rise… Well into the Future.
