Mission

To bring together the not-for-profit community-serving organizations to positively impact and support the health and well-being of the communities within the Jefferson service area.

Vision

To ensure that we are equitably meeting the needs and valuing the assets of communities as identified by residents within the Jefferson service area with the outcome of maintaining healthy communities.

Story

Local organizations serving Allegheny County’s South Hills and lower Mon Valley communities had long sought an opportunity to gather, network, learn, and collaborate. In 2015, the Jefferson Community Collaborative – an initiative and investment of the Jefferson Regional Foundation – emerged to fulfill this vision for organizations providing services in the communities served by Jefferson Hospital.

Community-based organizations are invited to join the Collaborative.
