OVP Foundation for Healthier Communities

The OVP Foundation for Healthier Communities is a community-focused organization created to help individuals and families lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. Based in Huntington, West Virginia, the Foundation provides services that go beyond traditional health care—support that may not be covered by insurance but can be essential to wellbeing. Its mission is to improve the physical, mental, and emotional health of residents in areas affected by the opioid epidemic.

The Foundation works to remove barriers to recovery from substance use disorders, recognizing that practical needs can make it harder for people to succeed. It also responds to communities facing crises, including severe weather, public health emergencies, and violence. Through OVP Cares, it supports community service efforts, and its Fresh Start initiative invites donations to provide dignity, stability, and hope. The Foundation also offers ways to request support, get involved, and participate in events. Its work has included support for foster families, reflecting a broader commitment to strengthening individuals, families, and communities across the region.
