Funding for the Future
In Funding for the Future, Winter Park Health Foundation President & CEO Nicholas Abrahams will explore WPHF’s recent strategic planning process and how it’s shaping the next phase of the Foundation’s work in the communities we serve. In January 2026, WPHF unveiled a refreshed brand identity and new strategic priorities – Access to Primary Care, Food Is Health, and Youth Mental Health. This presentation will explore how WPHF’s strategy has evolved over the past more than three decades to address the needs of the community and how these strategic priorities will define the next phase of the Foundation’s work to advance health through collaboration and commitment. Discover how we invest with intention, walking alongside organizations that drive meaningful change and amplifying partners who advance our commitment to healthier futures. Funding for the Future will also explore our community facilities, including the Center for Health & Wellbeing, and how these resources allow WPHF to advance our mission to improve community health.
