Good Shepherd  

Community Health Foundation

The mission of the Good Shepherd 
Community Health Foundation is 
to enhance the quality of life and 
general health of residents living in 
the Umatilla and Morrow County 
communities.

At the heart of that mission is 
our partnerships with residents, 
nonprofits, schools, and civic groups. 
Last year, we distributed $194,364 
in total scholarships and grants 
across the region, including $56,572 
from the Mary Ellen Paul Trust to 
six designated organizations, and 
$86,500 in medical scholarships 
to 48 students and healthcare 
professionals from our communities 
attending 21 colleges and 

universities, with many returning 
home to serve our region. Each 
scholarship is an investment in the 
community’s future caregivers.
