The Dignity Health Community Grants Program continues a tradition of more than 20-years, awarding funding to local programs and organizations working to address the greatest health needs of the community, emphasizing prevention, engaging diverse community stakeholders, and building upon existing services in the community.
Sister Katie added, “This year’s award recipients truly reflect the unique times we are in and we are proud to support groups that are supporting our community and our neighbors, especially our vulnerable elders through this ongoing pandemic. We are fortunate to have so many committed groups in southern Nevada working with us to address important issues, such as access to care, mental health services, and violence prevention. We are grateful for all the applications we received and congratulate this year’s grant recipients.”
