Marshfield Medical Center-Beaver Dam (MMC-BD) is offering a fall funding program as part of its Community Health and Community Benefit initiatives in Dodge County. The funding program is open to area organizations that are looking to start a new program or grow an existing program that aligns with at least one of MMC-BD’s Community Health Priorities, which include Alcohol and Substance Misuse, Behavioral Health and/or Health Equity/Equitable Access to Community-Based Resources and Services. “We believe that engaged, community well-being work is best performed by those closest to the issues,” said Angelia Foster, Marshfield Medical Center-Beaver Dam President. “As we align our organizational community health efforts with the goals outlined in the Community Health Implementation Strategy, one way to efficiently address these issues is to provide funds to our local partners.” Organizations interested in applying for the funding, which can range from $1,000 to $10,000, can do so at https://marshfieldclinic.smapply.org/prog/mmc-bd_community_health_grant/. The application period is open through Sept. 24. The Community Health Sub-Committee of the MMC-BD Community Advisory Board will review applications and determine which requests are approved. Please call 920-356-6358 with questions about the stipend program or email mmcbdcommunityhealth@marshfieldclinic.org.
