GNYHA Foundation is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) affiliate of the Greater New York Hospital Association (GNYHA). The Foundation was created to match the interests and needs of public and private grant funding organizations with special projects that are of interest to the region's not-for-profit and public hospitals, continuing care facilities, the patients they serve, and the broader health community.
