Lake Chelan Health And Wellness Foundation

The Lake Chelan Health & Wellness Foundation is dedicated to educating current and future healthcare professionals in its community. Since 1995, the Foundation has provided over $1.6 million for healthcare education to current and future caregivers in the Lake Chelan Valley from the investment income generated from a bequest of over $1 million by Edna Bragg. In 2024, 30 Lake Chelan Valley students pursuing advanced healthcare degrees and 29 local healthcare professionals received over $65,900 in healthcare education assistance.

In 2013, a child wellness program, "Club Max", was launched. Club Max inspires local youth to lead healthier lives, with a specific focus on fighting childhood obesity. Community wellness programs such as Diabetes Smackdown, Wellness Theatre, and school donations have also improved wellness in the schools and community. Due to Covid, no programs were held in 2021. Programs resumed in 2022.
