The Quest Diagnostics Foundation has identified communities within Miami-Dade County for intentional funding to advance coalition and community-driven solutions that seek to improve community health outcomes. This funding opportunity builds on the best practices and lessons learned in other communities.
Applicants are expected to demonstrate the capacity to implement and evaluate community-driven and community-led solutions to meaningfully impact health. In alignment with this funding opportunity, Quest Diagnostics will make available diagnostic testing and screening in the selected health areas of focus. The Foundation is particularly interested in proposals that seek to improve health outcomes associated with (i) screening, preventing, and managing chronic cardiometabolic conditions or (ii) maternal/child health.
The applicant is expected to describe intended outcomes of the proposed initiatives and illustrate the capacity to leverage local resources and partnerships to sustain program implementation and evaluation efforts. Examples include, but are not limited to:
- Community-Clinical Linkages: novel approaches to delivering and coordinating sustainable healthcare and supportive community services for chronic cardiometabolic conditions and maternal/child health (eg, Diabetes, CVD, Hypertension). Types of interventions could include care coordination via community health workers (CHW), promotoras or doulas, telehealth, and mobile care
- Increased Use of Diagnostic Testing and Screening: accessing no-cost testing through Quest Diagnostics to support grant-related activities and increasing patient engagement and activation through health education
- Social Drivers of Health: efforts that emphasize the importance of social drivers of health (eg food security, transportation) that lead to improved clinical and community health.
