Welcome to The Meridith Foundation
The Meridith Foundation's Purpose
Revolutionize Access to Compassionate Care — remove barriers, restore dignity, and ensure no one is left behind.
Access. Compassion. Hope.
Our Culture and Vision
“A world where healthcare is guided by compassion and accessible to all — where no door is closed, no voice is ignored, and every life has the chance to heal with dignity and hope.”
Our purpose is to remove the barriers that stand between people and the care they deserve. We exist to open doors, amplify voices, and create pathways to healing where none may have existed before. Guided by compassion, we work to ensure that every individual, regardless of circumstance, can access care that honors their dignity, restores their hope, and empowers them to live fully.
At The Meridith Foundation, we live out our mission through:
Access First: We break down barriers and open doors so care reaches those who need it most.
Compassion Always: Every action is guided by empathy, kindness, and respect for human dignity.
Integrity in Action: We honor every dollar, every donor, and every patient with transparency and accountability.
Hope Restored: We measure our success not only in care delivered but in the renewed confidence and futures of those we serve.
Our Impact
At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief: everyone deserves access to compassionate care.
We are working to revolutionize access by breaking down the barriers that prevent people from getting the support they need. Through our programs and partnerships, we aim to restore dignity, create equity in care, and ensure no one is left behind.
Every step we take brings us closer to a world where care is not a privilege, but a right—where compassion is the standard, and where communities thrive because everyone is seen, heard, and supported.
Our Origin Story
The foundation was born from both personal experience and professional conviction. After witnessing my sister, Meridith, endure years of misdiagnosis, fragmented treatment, and a lack of compassionate care while living with a mental disability, I made a personal vow to drive change. Her journey revealed the urgent need for a more connected, coordinated, and humane approach to healthcare—one that sees the whole person, not just the condition.
Through my work at HealPrecisely™, I saw these same challenges mirrored in countless patients—people who suffered not because of a lack of innovation, but because of a lack of integration. That realization became the spark for this foundation.
We are taking the proven solutions and systems developed at HealPrecisely™ and extending them into a broader mission—to close the gaps in care, restore dignity where it has been lost, and ensure that no individual is left to navigate the healthcare system alone. Our purpose is simple yet profound: to create a future where compassion and coordination are not exceptions, but expectations.
Our Vision for Better Community Care
We believe that stronger communities are built on compassion, connection, and care that truly reaches everyone. Our vision for better community care is one where support is not limited by circumstance, location, or stigma, where neighbors look out for one another, and healthcare systems open doors instead of creating barriers.
By fostering dignity, equity, and hope, we’re working toward communities where care is shared, accessible, and deeply human. Together, we can create a future where no one is left behind and every voice is valued in the journey toward healing.
Our Mission is to Empower Our Community
At the heart of our mission is a commitment to empower our community, to make compassionate care accessible, restore dignity, and ensure that no one is left behind.
This vision was inspired and brought to life by our founder, Jennifer Rivard. Jennifer has always believed that healthcare should not only treat illness, but also honor the humanity of every individual. Through her leadership and dedication, she has built an organization that challenges barriers, amplifies voices, and creates pathways to healing for those who need it most.
Jennifer’s passion for equity and compassion continues to shape our work and fuel our mission: to uplift, empower, and care for the community we serve.
