Last year, the system gave $27.2 million in grants to dozens of nonprofits. This year, it convened more than 80 nonprofit grant recipients into its multi-year health equity grant program, according to a Nov. 1 system news release. The total amount of grants has not yet been released.
The grant program focuses on efforts to address health equity including in recruitment and retainment of a diverse workforce, data intelligence to inform equity outcomes, and adherence to healthcare policies to provide high-quality services. These community partnerships will continue to expand and be developed, the release said.
