Formerly the MAMSI Children's Foundation, the Foundation was incorporated in Maryland on May 25, 1999 to improve the lives of children who need financial assistance to cover medical treatment. With the merger of UnitedHealthcare and MAMSI, the Foundation's mission and area of service was extended from the Mid-Atlantic states to a national focus.
Since its inception, the Foundation has helped more than 375 families and provided financial assistance of nearly $1 million since the first award was made in the spring of 2000. The average grant has been $2,300 and has helped children receive the medical care prescribed by their physicians. |
