The Austin-Bailey Health and Wellness Foundation is a private grantmaking foundation. Its focus is to support programs that promote the physical and mental well-being of the citizens of Holmes, Stark, Tuscarawas and Wayne Counties in the state of Ohio.   

The Foundation emphasizes healthcare affordability concerns of the uninsured and underinsured, the poor, children, single parents and the elderly. It also advocates programs that address the mental health needs of individuals and families.

The Foundation was established in late 1996 with proceeds from the sale of Doctors Hospital, Inc. of Stark County, Ohio. Under the leadership of its first director, Gerald Meck, pictured above, the Foundation began its mission of supporting the health and well-being of the community. Mr. Meck continued to lead the Foundation until declining health required him to step down.
