The CVS Health Foundation’s support of the Hispanic Health Council’s Family Wellness Center addresses health disparities in Connecticut by providing comprehensive health care services to underserved populations. With a $2 million grant, the initiative aims to expand access to preventive care, mental health support, nutrition counseling, and community health education. The funding also enables the hiring of three new patient navigators who assist at-risk individuals in navigating the complex health care system, ensuring they receive the necessary care and resources.
This initiative targets chronic health conditions prevalent among Connecticut residents, such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity, which disproportionately affect the Latino community. By collaborating with local organizations like Mental Health Connecticut and the Villages for Families and Children, the program integrates care and enhances the overall health outcomes of the community. The CVS Health Foundation’s collaboration with the Hispanic Health Council exemplifies the power of community partnerships in addressing health disparities and building a healthier, more resilient Hartford.
