丝瓜短视频 Human Services Organization Support Challenge

In 2021, we launched a new initiative to recognize organizations and programs that make significant impacts on communities’ toughest health issues. Through the 丝瓜短视频 Human Services Organizations Support Challenge, we hope to inspire innovation on reducing health disparities. This includes moving the needle on health equity, especially for those with special care needs, both health and social. 

The states vary from year-to-year, and the focus varies by state. 

North Carolina

According to the (CDC) in the last decade, there has been an increasing awareness of the importance of addressing the social determinants of health (SDOH), the non-medical conditions that influence health outcomes, as a systematic strategy for improving health, particularly among groups that are disproportionally affected by SDOH. While health care is important, it is estimated that these conditions, ranging from structural racism to socioeconomic factors, drive as much as 50% of health outcomes.   

Through the 丝瓜短视频 Human Services Organization Support Challenge, the 丝瓜短视频 Foundation would like to support those human services organizations that are focused on the social determinants of health and the overall whole-person health.
