HealthLit4Wake is supported by a federal grant from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is dedicated to improving health literacy and access for vulnerable communities.
Wake County will use the mini grants to further relationships with community partners that are working in underserved communities across the county. Moreover, the awards will be distributed to organizations that can help promote accurate, timely, and culturally sensitive health information to historically marginalized populations.
The goals of the mini grant awards are aligned with the strategic goals for the HealthLit4Wake grant. Some of these goals are to:
- Implement evidence-based health literacy interventions within the target community.
- Increase the knowledge and intent to change behavior among individuals impacted by the health literacy interventions.
- Ensure alignment between the demographic characteristics of the population reached and the target population, specifically Black/African American and Hispanic populations.
- Enhance community engagement by Community Health Workers (CHWs) through events and activities that address Social Determinants of Health.
- Promote the establishment of policies, practices, and partnerships within organizations that improve access to health information and services for vulnerable and underserved populations.
