Priorities:

Funding priorities for the Community Reinvestment Fund will focus on the most recent Community Health Needs Assessment (see link on right side of page) conducted in the spring of 2008 and the health needs identified in that report. Requests for funding should also further San Juan Regional Medical Center's Mission, Vision and Philosophy.

Types of Funding:

San Juan Regional Medical Center will fund projects and opportunities in the following ways:

For example, if the original request is for $10,000, the maximum amount awarded for the second year would be $5,000; and $2,500 for the third year.
• One Time Funding: This would be funding for one specific amount with no further funding needed.
• Ongoing Funding: This would be for projects deemed appropriate for addressing a community health needs on a continual basis. Annual review of the project is mandatory.

Budget:
