Rural Health Community Health Grant

The NC Department of Health and Human Services has posted an online list of rural grant opportunities for 2018-19, including the Community Health Grant FY 2020 RFA that opened on Nov. 1. All primary care safety net organizations that provide direct primary and preventive care and serve as a medical home are eligible to apply for the Community Health Grant. This includes hospital-owned primary care clinics, as well as a variety of other safety net providers and non-profit community organizations that provide direct primary and preventive patient care to low-income, uninsured, underinsured and medically vulnerable populations. The Office of Rural Health sees collaboration as an important tool to address community health needs. Is your hospital in partnership with many of these organizations to meet the health needs of your community? Consider sharing this opportunity with those organizations and jointly apply.
