Valley Regional Hospital Foundation is proud to award $10,000 each to the Annapolis County Senior Safety Program and Kings Seniors’ Safety this year. These grants support the vital services both organizations provide to help seniors live safely, independently, and with dignity in our community.

From helping seniors access healthcare services and home care, to providing education on fraud prevention and transportation to appointments, these programs are a lifeline for many. They also assist with housing grants, access to healthy food, falls prevention, and much more.

Together, these initiatives empower older adults to stay well and remain active members of our communities — improving quality of life and enhancing public health for one of the most important and growing segments of our population.
