About the Organization
The Gogebic Range Health Foundation was formed in 1998 under the then-community hospital, Grand View Health. The foundation served as a supporting organization up until 2015, when the hospital was purchased by Aspirus Inc.
The board members’ forethought, regional perspective, and understanding of collaborative efforts to create change led them to convert the foundation to an independent public charity 501(c)(3) organization with a focus on community health in 2015-16. Since then, the Gogebic Range Health Foundation has given grants totaling nearly $1 million to area non-profit organizations, including being a major local funding source for the expansion of the Iron Belle Trail.
Based in Ironwood, in Michigan’s western Upper Peninsula, the Gogebic Range Health Foundation now serves to advance community health throughout the Gogebic Range, which includes Gogebic County, Michigan, as well as Iron County, Wisconsin, and to establish the Gogebic Range as a fun and healthy place to live.
