Improving Health for All in Northern Virginia

Work with the Northern Virginia Health Foundation

The Northern Virginia Health Foundation (NVHF) is working to improve the health of Northern Virginia residents, with particular emphasis on the uninsured, through grants to safety-net clinics and other organizations that serve low-income residents in the region. It also participates in “beyond grant-making” activities, such as commissioning new research and partnering with other funders, government agencies, and community groups to share ideas and leverage resources.

Since 2011, Burness has helped NVHF promote its work, and that of its grantees and partners, including creating the Foundation’s first website and writing website posts. Working with a WordPress theme, Burness revamped the Foundation’s website in 2014, overhauling the sitemap, updating the content, and creating a refreshed look-and-feel for the Foundation.
