| Purpose |
Funding designed to reduce health disparities within vulnerable communities by enhancing collaboration and coordination among agencies and institutions providing health and social supports to these communities. This is a two-part, four-year initiative that consists of a program-planning and design phase and a second project demonstration phase.
Grant monies will support strategic partnerships around population health between community-health centers and one or more anchor institutions, such as a public hospital system, public health department or school system. They define community-health centers as organizations that provide primary care services to low-income patients, including those designated federally qualified health centers and health center look-alikes, public health clinics, school-based health centers, nurse-managed clinics, and voluntary free clinics, among others. |
