The Kresge Foundation: Innovative approaches to improve community health

Additional Information:
http://kresge.org/programs/health/community-health-partnerships#innovative%20approaches

Description:
We support promising new practices that serve vulnerable populations by advancing prevention, improving access and integrating primary community and clinical care. We look for efforts that foster connections between the clinical health care and community health, integrating patient care with activity to recognize and “treat” the social and environmental factors that contribute to poor health. Examples include a first-ever report highlighting the work of community health centers in promoting health and working to eliminate conditions that adversely affect the communities they serve and medical-legal partnerships that address patients’ nonmedical needs.
