About IEHP Foundation
IEHP Foundation works with local community-based organizations to advance the health and well-being of the Inland Empire. Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) founded IEHP Foundation, a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit, in 2021. The Foundation strives to ensure all individuals in the Inland Empire have access to Vibrant Health — extending beyond traditional healthcare services and addressing the social determinants of health for the region’s most vulnerable populations.
We will not rest until the promise of Vibrant Health exists for all of us.
