About Us

What is today the John Muir/Mt. Diablo Community Health Fund came into being in 1997 when the merger that created John Muir Health called for developing and funding an independent "community health benefit nonprofit corporation." Since our inception, we have been dedicated to supporting programs that improve the health of medically uninsured and underserved populations in central and east Contra Costa County.

We are governed by an independent, ten-member board of directors, with five members appointed by the Mt. Diablo Health Care District and the other five appointed by the John Muir Association.

Through 2007, we have invested over $14 million community benefit dollars in grants and program-related expenses. In addition to using our own resources The California Endowment, The California Wellness Foundation, Y & H Soda Foundation and Contra Costa County's Employment & Human Services Department, have all contributed to our health initiatives.
