Program areas at Central Peninsula Health Foundation
The foundation sponsors and holds funds for Serenity House, a chemical dependency unit of Central Peninsula Hospital which is supported through prevention grants, and client resource funds.

These residents also participate in community outreach (parades, Operation Christmas, to list a few). Educational speakers in person or on big screen TV.
