Healthy Together: Creating Community with New Americans
The Healthy Together grants program aims to reduce health disparities for immigrants and improve the health of the entire community. Its initial emphasis is on Minnesota's recent Hmong immigrants. More specifically, the foundation will award grants to address social adjustment and mental health, strengthen the capacity of immigrant-led organizations and their attention to health, and to foster exchanges between newcomers and the receiving community to promote healthier communities for all.
