Who we are
The HSC Foundation is dedicated to improving access to services for individuals who face social and health care barriers due to disability, chronic illness, or other circumstances that present unique needs. The HSC Health Care System is a multi-faceted organization that weaves together a pediatric specialty hospital (The HSC Pediatric Center), a health care management plan (Health Services for Children with Special Needs), and a home health agency (HSC Home Care, LLC). The HSC Foundation serves as the parent organization to these nonprofit organizations, and together, they comprise The HSC Health Care System. The HSC Health Care System offers a comprehensive approach to caring, serving, and empowering individuals with disabilities.
In the arena of disparities and social and cultural barriers to services, the Foundation is currently focusing on the following areas:
- Youth transitions and employment readiness strategies
- Family supports, training, and advocacy
- Healthy lifestyles, awareness and education
Our guiding principles
- To work with partners on all initiatives
- To select initiatives that address an identified information or service gap and that add value to existing work
- To bring additional funding (federal, corporate, foundation) to initiatives by serving as funding partners that have local impact and national relevance
Our mission
The mission of The HSC Foundation is to facilitate access to appropriate services for individuals with special needs and their families in the Washington metropolitan area, and to participate in related local, regional, and national projects with government, private, and philanthropic organizations.
