Community Vital Signs
About Us
"By bringing together the lived experiences of community members, academic expertise, industry knowledge, and entrepreneurs, the goal is to create solutions in partnership with the people experiencing these health inequities every day," Ben Reno-Weber, deputy director of the University of Louisville's Health Equity Innovation Hub, says in a press release.
The challenge, a $1.5 million grant from the Humana Foundation and the Kentucky Department for Public Health, aims to do just that.
The UofL Health Equity Innovation Hub and Render, an innovation studio, will select five winners for each of five categories: food access, maternal and child health, non-emergency medical transportation, and access in the Louisville region.
Each winner will receive $100,000 to work with community partners and UofL researchers to pilot their innovations in the Louisville region.
"Addressing inequities in our communities is vital work because we know we are only as strong as our most vulnerable populations," says Kentucky Public Health Deputy Commissioner for Clinical Affairs and Interim Director of the Office of Health Equity Connie White.
"We need to work together to elevate all of us."
