The VHA Foundation, located in Irving, Texas, is a 501(c)(3) private foundation created by VHA Inc. to encourage leadership and innovation solutions that address health and health care issues. The Foundation seeks the input and participation of both member and non-member health care organizations in its efforts to improve health and health care. The VHA Foundation funds programs that focus on two important health themes: leadership in patient safety and disaster relief.

The National Health Systems Patient Safety Leadership Award builds on VHA Foundation's commitment to support health care leaders in paths towards safer, more transparent hospitals. Earlier this year, the Foundation launched the Health Care SafetyNetwork, a program that is providing nearly 140 hospital CEOs nationwide with an experienced-based educational and networking opportunity to advance their confidence, knowledge and skills in patient safety.
