Triangle North Healthcare Foundation is a regional healthcare grantmaking organization, which was established in November 2011 after Maria Parham Medical Center merged with the for-profit hospital company, Duke LifePoint. The TNHF's grants are made possible by the endowment that was created from the assets of the former nonprofit hospital.
