The award is given annually to a health system that demonstrates “exceptional commitment to community health” and develops innovative community partnerships to improve healthcare equity and access, AHA said in a July 18 news release.
As part of the award, Boston Medical Center will receive $100,000 to support its community health programs. Notable examples include a social determinants of health screening program for primary care patients launched in 2017 and a systemwide health equity accelerator program launched in 2020 to address the root causes of health inequities.
Englewood (N.J.) Health and New York City-based NewYork-Presbyterian were also named as prize finalists and will each receive $10,000.
