Overview

Mission

The united way of baldwin county's collaborative effort with health and human service agencies works to build, grow, and enhance the well-being of citizens in baldwin county.

What it reported doing in 2025

United way of baldwin county offers an in-house program known as the united medical partnership for children. Children with no insurance are less likely to receive proper medical care which often results in excessive absences from school. The united medical partnership for children enables uninsured and underinsured children to receive proper medical treatment. By keeping children healthy, we keep children in the classroom and on a pathway towards success. To identify children who need care, uwbc partners with the baldwin county public schools and its network of school nurses. The fund pays for basic medical needs for public school children.
