What We Do

Canton Community Health Fund, Inc. develops, supports and engages in activities that contribute to the enhancement of health, safety and well-being for Canton’s community.

Canton Community Health Fund is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors who oversee the Fund’s investment, community programming, and distribution of grants and scholarships.

CCHF also awards the Dr. Diters Legacy Scholarship, for graduating Canton High School students and Canton residents attending high school out of Town. In addition, in 2024, we introduced the Pay It Forward Scholarship for Canton residents pursuing further education in healthcare or public safety/service fields. Many Scholarship recipients have gone on to successful careers in health care, first response and other service fields which benefit our community.
