Work

Population & Community Health
We Fund Connection because impactful work in Population & Community Health calls for strong connections … between addressing current health needs, supporting ongoing wellness, and promoting prevention. UniHealth grantees make these connections with interdisciplinary programs that strive to:

Empower people to engage in positive health behaviors and make informed decisions, especially with regard to appropriate use of healthcare services.

Alleviate the social and economic circumstances that can prevent people from reaching and maintaining positive health outcomes.

Encourage strategies and partnerships across community sectors – such as public health, industry, academia, health services, and local government entities — to address health disparities.

Enhance quality of life and reduce the impact of disease by fostering healthy environments.
