UVA Health has allocated nearly $265,000 in grant funding to support 42 local non-profit organizations, including 24 for the Prince William Health District and 18 for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District.
The funds are aimed at supporting the communities’ most vulnerable populations, reflecting UVA Health‘s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, and addressing healthcare workforce development.
The recipients are charitable organizations that have demonstrated unwavering commitment to addressing the community needs identified in the UVA Health Community Health Needs Assessment Study (CHNA) 2022-2024 health needs assessment. Focus areas included mental health, behavioral health, substance use and chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and obesity.
“Our goal at UVA Health is to improve the health of individuals in our community by promoting health, healing and treatment in response to identified community health needs,” Michelle Strider, chief nursing officer for UVA Health’s community medical centers and clinics in Northern Virginia and Culpeper, said. “One of our main goals in the 10-year strategic plan is to cultivate healthy communities and belonging for all.
