About WovenWell | Our Work

Rooted in Mercer County. Growing alongside our community.

WovenWell is the new name of the Buhl Regional Health Foundation. Our new name and brand reflect the breadth of how we work and the many connections that strengthen well-being across our community. WovenWell brings together programs, investments, resources, partnerships, data, and learning to help strengthen the conditions that allow our community to thrive.

A new name for work rooted in our community

Our name has changed, but our commitment to Mercer County remains firmly rooted. WovenWell reflects an organization that does more than fund local projects. We invest, respond, connect, strengthen and learn—working alongside our community to build the conditions where people can thrive.
