WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – In December 2022, Novant Health Community Engagement contributed more than $1 million in charitable contributions to community partners* across communities in Charlotte, Winston-Salem and Wilmington. The goal of Novant Health’s Developing Healthy Communities investment priority is to improve the health of people in our communities by promoting health, healing and treatment in response to identified community health needs.
“These recipients exemplify the Novant Health mission to improve the health of its communities, one person at a time by meeting certain social and health needs vital to each community,” said Dr. Jerome Williams, Jr., senior vice president for strategic growth and consumer engagement, Novant Health. “I’m energized by the possibilities ahead and the programs that will flourish from this round of funding.”
Each community partner applied for funding through Novant Health’s robust community engagement investment program, and the funds will support expanding the recipients’ existing programs.
“Novant Health stands by its mission by placing investments in community organizations that will have direct, positive impacts on our neighbors by providing services and support allowing them to improve their overall health and thrive in their lives,” said Matthew DePace, vice president of community engagement. “We look forward to our second round of applications and funding cycle for Developing Healthy Communities this fall and also the current application cycle for Expanding Opportunity Through Education.”
Novant Health is accepting applications now through Feb. 7 for its Expanding Opportunity Through Education contribution cycle. Applications for Developing Healthy Communities will open again in early summer. Local community support applications are ongoing. Community partners interested in applying may visit NovantHealth.org/socialresponsibility.
