dbp:origins
| - Philanthropists Gary and Mary West made their money through West Corporation, a private telecommunications provider based in Omaha, Nebraska. In 2006, the Wests sold their stake in the company for $1.4 billion, the same year they founded the Gary and Mary West Foundation, which has awarded more than $231 million in grants since its inception. Subsequently, the Foundation provided funding to enable the creation of the West Health Institute in 2009 and the West Health Policy Center in 2012. These three organizations comprise West Health.
