Feather River Health Foundation

FRHF’s efforts creating a healthier Ridge community

Feather River Health Foundation

Today, the Feather River Health Foundation (FRHF) is the largest foundation located within our community dedicated to the overall health, wellness, and well-being of the Paradise Ridge communities. Since the Camp Fire, the FRHF has partnered with Adventist Health and other foundations such as the North Valley Community Foundation (NVCF) to expand its philanthropic capacity and efforts to address unmet health and wellness needs in our community. These efforts currently include plans to bring the national Blue Zones Health and Wellness Project to Paradise and Magalia with the goal for these communities to become Blue Zones certified, continued advocacy within Adventist Health to re-open an ER to serve the Paradise Ridge, and to ensure that the community and its leadership are included in the planning of financially sustainable healthcare services on the closed hospital campus. The FRHF’s focus on meeting unmet health and wellness needs also included carrying out a rapid response relief program for youth, families, schools, and businesses during the height of the pandemic. This effort ranged from providing badly needed personal protection equipment and supplies, to bolstering food supply and deliveries to people within our community during the pandemic. Our FRHF also provided support for the Maranatha Shed Project, the Paradise Clinic and its Rapid Care Center, and the Butte County EMS Station in Paradise.

Supporting Our Community

As part of the FRHF’s continuing commitment to Paradise’s recovery, the FRHF coordinates the World Vision’s Inspire Hope Project which to date has brought over 65-truckloads of new household furnishings and goods to Paradise that are distributed through a number of non-profits to qualifying Camp Fire survivors and others in need, helped to fund the Town of Paradise’s current update of its Long Term Recovery Plan, provided funding to the Hope Plaza Project; contributed to Paradise Stronger’s health and wellness efforts, helped sponsor PRPD’s Ice Rink, and provided funding support to a number of other Paradise community groups. We fully expect that the Feather River Health Foundation’s focus on improving the health and well-being of the Paradise Ridge will greatly benefit our community, and its quality of life.
