RIVER VALLEY HEALTH Fund

The River Valley Health Fund (RVHF) was created as a result of the sale of Ohio Valley Medical Center and East Ohio Regional Hospital to Alecto Healthcare Hospitals, a for-profit health care system. The RVHF was created to carry out the charitable outreach activities of the former not-for-profit OVMC and EORH.

The Mission of the RVHF is to improve the health and well-being of the residents of the Ohio Valley.

Grants are made from the RVHF to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, schools, fire/police departments and other similarly exempt organizations based in or serving Wheeling, WV, Martins Ferry, OH, St. Clairsville, OH, and the following counties: Brooke, Ohio, Marshall and Wetzel in WV and Belmont, Jefferson, Monroe, Guernsey and Harrison in OH.
