Our Grantees

North Canton Medical Foundation will collaborate and sponsor programs that provide for the health and wellness of our North Canton community—including an emphasis on the underserved.

 

Examples of programs we currently fund include the involvement and support of the Hartville Migrant Medical Clinic, and Access Health Stark County. We also fund Melanoma awareness education programs, and collaborative programs with the North Canton YMCA for nutrition education and physical rehabilitation after cancer treatments. Further more, we provide financial support for our cancer relief fund, and support retired physicians who volunteer at free clinics through the Retired Physician’s Program.
