UVA Health introduced the allocation of almost $200,000 in grant funding to assist 26 native non-profit organizations within the Northern Virginia and Culpeper areas who assist our communities’ most weak populations, try to replicate variety, fairness and inclusion, and tackle the pipeline for healthcare workforce growth.

The recipients are charitable organizations which have demonstrated unwavering dedication to addressing the neighborhood wants recognized within the UVA Health Community Health Needs Assessment Study (CHNA) 2022-2024 well being wants evaluation. The focus areas included psychological well being/behavioral well being, substance use, and power illnesses equivalent to most cancers, diabetes, coronary heart illness, and weight problems.

“The recipients of these grants are organizations that resonate with the UVA Health mission, vision, and values and improve access to care to community members who need it most,” mentioned Erik Shannon, Chief Executive Officer of UVA Community Health. “By investing in and collaborating with these local non-profit organizations, we can extend our impact far beyond our hospital walls and advance the overall health and well-being of the communities we serve.”
