About Us

The Culpeper Wellness Foundation was established as an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit in 2014 when the University of Virginia became the sole owner of Culpeper Regional Hospital. The Foundation works to achieve its mission by:

  • Providing health and fitness programming and services
  • Ensuring the availability of high-quality medical care for low-income, uninsured adults, and
  • Providing mission-related grants within the counties of Culpeper, Madison, and Orange.

The Culpeper Wellness Foundation operates Powell Wellness Center, the Free Clinic of Culpeper, and PATH Recreation & Fitness Center.

The Foundation holds a unique role in the community as a provider of services, a partner and collaborator with donors and public and private agencies, and as a grantmaker.

In 2024, we celebrated 10 years of improving health & promoting wellness in our tri-county mission area. Our anniversary video below captures the experiences of members of our Foundation community who have shared in the exciting journey.
