The Purpose of The Baxter International Foundation Health Recovery Fund was to provide immediate financial resources to community-based health care clinics, nonprofits, and other community-based health services that are delivered by other organizations (such as hospices, nursing homes, home health or visiting nurse agencies, domestic violence and child abuse organizations, mental health clinics, dental clinics, senior citizens organizations, youth service organizations, substance abuse treatment organizations, disability services, physical/occupational therapy clinics, and or family centers) in the hurricane devastated area so that they can (re)initiate services. It was designed to provide grants to support local healthcare professionals' efforts to restore their clinics and to reestablish their services to those families and communities who have been greatly impacted by the hurricanes and are in need of assistance. The Baxter International Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Baxter International Inc., helps organizations increase access to healthcare in the United States and around the world. The foundation, established in 1981, began to focus exclusively on increasing access to healthcare in 2002 - particularly for the disadvantaged and underserved - in and near communities where Baxter employees live and work.
