National Health Foundation Receives Grant for San Gabriel Valley Recuperative Care Center Expansion

National Health Foundation recently received a $250,000 grant from the Harold Edelstein Foundation to expand post-hospitalization health care services to homeless patients, specifically for the Recuperative Care Center in the San Gabriel Valley.

With the Edelstein Foundation’s grant, NHF’s cooperative partners will expand care into the communities of La Puente, West Covina, Glendora, Pomona and others, alleviating the problems hospitals face when there appears to be no safe option for discharging homeless patients.
