November / December 2019
|
|
In November 2012, I was named President and CEO of GIH. Shortly afterward, I described the opening phases of what I called GIH 3.0, a term I chose because I was GIH’s third president. GIH 3.0 built on the past accomplishments of the organization, while positioning it to continue being a relevant and high-quality resource for the field.

Whether because of geographic distance in rural areas, being homebound at a residence, a shortage of health care professionals, or lack of transportation, there are a variety of reasons why a consumer might not be able to connect to their health care. Much work has been done to develop solutions to those problems, particularly using approaches that transcend traditional clinical models. Telehealth is one such solution that is gaining traction at an ever-increasing rate.

“In our community-based work, we find ourselves having moved into a position of power that we did not intend, and now have to be more deliberate about transitioning it back to the community it belongs to.”

New Survey: How Health Funders Are Approaching HEAL Funding
|
|
Grantmakers In Health is pleased to announce the release of results from our latest survey of the field, How Health Funders are Approaching Healthy Eating/Active Living (HEAL) Funding 2019. Over the past two decades, HEAL funding has become increasingly diverse in approach, frame, and focus. To better understand current trends and priorities, GIH surveyed its Funding Partner organizations in April 2019. This survey provides valuable insights into how and where funders are directing their resources and the perceived challenges to continued funding of the issue.
