UVMHN – Porter Medical Center was selected as the Backbone organization for Addison County.
Through this grant they will address mental health and health care inequities by focusing on their community’s mental wellbeing and access to care through a lens focusing on training and capacity building, trauma-centered care, LGBTQIA+ support, culturally competent care, and projects to elevate and better support their marginalized populations. They strongly encourage community partners to apply for this grant and share person-centered initiatives that address health equity among populations that have traditionally been underfunded or underrepresented within this community.
Addison County recognizes that improving health equity within their health care system requires long term learning from community members and establishing a culture that enables this work.
