Wilmington Health has established The Wilmington Health Foundation. The newly formed foundation will assist and finance Wilmington Health’s dedication to a healthier community.
“The foundation’s mission is to identify and support programs that encourage and educate Greater Wilmington Area residents on a healthier future,” said J’nelle Ruscetti, PA-C, board member. “As Wilmington Health is a trusted partner in healthcare, it is our obligation to aid other healthcare advocates.”
Jeff James, CEO of Wilmington Health, is responsible for the creation of the foundation. “As a subset of Wilmington Health’s mission and vision, we have developed seven strategic pillars, one being community commitment,” said James. “The formation of this foundation is a true testament to our commitment to being an active participant in the communities we serve.”
One of the first programs that will benefit from the foundation is the Family Fit Challenge. The Family Fit Challenge promotes and educates the community on wellness and fitness through an eight-week family plan. J’nelle, Wilmington Health Family Medicine provider, initiated and established the evidence-based program. She is determined to not only treat children who are at an unhealthy weight but also prevent children from becoming an unhealthy weight.
“I am passionate about the health of children. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing participants change their health and future through the program,” said J’nelle. “The Foundation will provide the necessary backing that programs like Family Fit Challenge and their beneficiaries deserve.”
