Celebrating 40 Years of Inspiring Innovation

This year marks a milestone moment for Presbyterian Health Foundation (PHF) — 40 years of discovery, innovation, and advancing health and healthcare.

Founded in September 1985, PHF began with a simple yet powerful mission: to support research that drives transformative impact in medicine and improves lives. Over the past four decades, we’ve had the privilege of investing in groundbreaking science, fostering collaboration, and helping visionary researchers turn bold ideas into real-world solutions. Watch that story here.

A Legacy of Discovery

From the earliest grants in basic biomedical science to today’s cutting-edge research in cancer, neuroscience, immunology, and beyond, PHF has consistently championed projects that push the boundaries of knowledge. Our support has empowered scientists to ask big questions, pursue bold hypotheses, and translate discoveries into better treatments and healthier communities.

Building the Future of Health

As we celebrate this anniversary, we reflect not only on what has been accomplished, but also on what lies ahead. Innovation never stops. PHF is proud to stand alongside researchers, institutions, and community partners who are shaping the future of medicine and healthcare. Together, we are committed to driving advances that will benefit generations to come.

Here’s to 40 years of inspiring innovation — and to the next 40.
