Details:
This $4 million/year investment in Healthy Greenville reinforces Prisma Health Upstate’s commitment to being a safety net provider for Greenville County. Its level of uncompensated care averages $178 million a year; this will not change in the future.
The Greenville Health Authority appointed a Community Initiatives Task Force in September 2016 to develop a strategic plan and process for an impactful administration of the grants. Task force members included GHA Trustees, community leaders, and academic experts, who consulted with stakeholders in the community as well as experts who contributed their knowledge to the process of developing a grantmaking initiative that would serve the health needs of Greenville County.
Funding is awarded to those applicants who best meet the criteria outlined in the RFP, who demonstrate a track record of success with other health- related programs, and who can articulate how their program/project will move Greenville County toward our bold vision of being the healthiest county in America.
