Cambia Health Foundation is the corporate foundation of Cambia Health Solutions, a total health solutions company dedicated to transforming the way people experience health care. The foundation has funded over $60 million in grants to advance patient-focused and family-oriented care for all through two programs: Sojourns, which advances palliative care access, awareness, and quality to help people with serious illness and their caregivers live well; and Healthy People, Healthy Communities, which advances whole person care strategies that reduce disparities, address social influencers of health, and empower every person to achieve optimal health and well-being.

Cambia Health Foundation serves health care consumers and their caregivers across the United States through investments in palliative care program development, workforce capacity, and leadership development. Through Healthy People, Healthy Communities, it partners with grantees to positively impact the health and well-being of people living in Oregon, Washington, Utah, and Idaho. 

Program Information: 

Cambia Health Foundation has two main programs: Sojourns and Health People, Healthy Communities. Within Sojourns, it invests in palliative care to help people with serious illness and their caregivers live as well as possible for as long as possible. Within Healthy People, Healthy Communities it invests in ideas, models, and whole person strategies that improve individual and population health with a goal of eliminating disparities.

Transforming Health Care

“Our efforts to transform health care began with philanthropic investments in palliative care to help people with serious illness and their caregivers live as well as possible for as long as possible through personalized care that reduces suffering and improves the quality of life for both the patient and their family members. 

Under Healthy People, Healthy Communities, our grantees attend to care for the whole person—not only their health care needs, but also the social influences that impact their overall health and well-being. Cambia Health Foundation invests in innovative strategies that help to eliminate disparities and make the health care journey more inclusive, person-focused, and economically sustainable from birth through natural completion of life.”
