Formerly known as Heritage Health Foundation, Heritage Community Initiatives (Heritage) was created in 1983 as the development division of the Braddock Medical Center. Through growth and response to changing community needs, in 2008 Heritage’s new name was chosen to reflect the redeveloped mission, as well as to familiarize funders and collaborators with the diverse services offered by the organization. Today, Heritage Community Initiatives is privileged to serve thousands of families facing socioeconomic challenges through three major areas of focus – Transportation, Education, & Nutrition.
