United Methodist Health Ministry Fund
Based in Hutchinson, the mission of the United Methodist Health Ministry Fund is "Healthy Kansans through cooperative and strategic philanthropy guided by Christian principles." Its funding comes from an endowment established in 1986 by the Kansas West Conference of the United Methodist Church from a portion of the proceeds of the sale of Wesley Hospital in Wichita. Since the Health Fund's founding, grants totaling more than $70 million have supported hundreds of health-related projects in Kansas. The Health Fund's Healthy Congregations program provides resources for development and growth of health ministries in Great Plains United Methodist churches.
