Moses Cone - Wesley Long Community Health Foundation

Our funding priorities are 1) access to health services, with particular emphasis on the elimination of barriers to health services by persons in need, and 2) wellness, with particular attention to physical activity; nutrition/obesity; substance abuse, including tobacco use prevention/cessation; responsible sexual behavior, especially the prevention of HIV/AIDS, STDs, and adolescent pregnancy; mental health; and injury prevention.
