Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Utah's Health Equity Initiatives
The Foundation's Nonprofit Grants to Support Advancing Health Equity aim to accelerate the development of nursing-driven interventions that improve the health and healthcare of marginalized populations in Utah. The priority outcomes for this grant in Utah are centered around addressing the unique health disparities faced by the state's diverse populations.
Utah's distinct demographic features, such as its high percentage of rural residents and growing refugee and immigrant communities, necessitate targeted interventions. The Utah Department of Health's efforts to address health disparities among its population are crucial in informing the priority outcomes for this grant. For instance, the department's data on health outcomes among Utah's Hispanic or Latino population, who comprise approximately 14% of the state's population, highlight the need for culturally sensitive healthcare interventions.
One of the primary target outcomes for this grant in Utah is to improve healthcare access for rural populations. Utah's rural areas face significant healthcare workforce shortages, with many counties lacking adequate primary care providers. The grant seeks to support initiatives that leverage nursing-driven interventions to bridge this gap, such as telehealth programs or community-based health worker initiatives. The Utah Rural Health Association is a key partner in identifying areas of need and developing effective solutions.
Another priority outcome is to address the health disparities faced by Utah's refugee and immigrant populations. The state's refugee resettlement programs, facilitated by organizations such as the Utah Office of New Americans, provide a foundation for healthcare interventions tailored to these communities. The grant aims to support initiatives that provide culturally responsive healthcare services, health education, and navigation support to these populations.
Measuring Success in Utah
To measure the success of the grant, the Foundation will track key performance indicators (KPIs) that align with the priority outcomes. These KPIs may include metrics such as the number of individuals served by grant-funded initiatives, improvements in health outcomes among target populations, and increases in healthcare access and utilization. The Utah Department of Health's Office of Health Disparities will provide valuable insights and data to inform the evaluation of grant-funded projects.
The Foundation will also work closely with grantees to ensure that their initiatives are tailored to the specific needs of Utah's marginalized populations. This may involve providing technical assistance and support to help grantees navigate the state's healthcare landscape and leverage existing resources, such as the Utah Grants Management System.
