GRANTS
Dignity Health Dominican Hospital and the Dominican Hospital Foundation are receiving $2 million in grant funding from the California Department of Health Care Access and Information. The funds will benefit the new Morehouse School of Medicine Dominican Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program. The grant is part of a larger allotment that aims to increase the number of primary care residency programs in family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology and pediatrics. This funding is available in part from the $1.4 billion Song-Brown Workforce for a Healthy California for All package. That funding initiative aims to expand and diversify the health care workforce. The Santa Cruz, California, Dominican Hospital is part of CommonSpirit Health.
The Avila Institute of Gerontology of Germantown, New York, has received a $720,000 grant from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation to fund an 18-month pilot program entitled "Sisters Aging Well Together." The program aims to enable Catholic sisters worldwide to assess their communities and address elder concerns. Each community will learn techniques through education and training so it can implement solutions to address elders' needs. The Avila Institute of Gerontology, which is part of the Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm, is an educational resource for eldercare professionals, religious communities, and others on how best to provide compassionate care to the elderly. Hotelier Conrad N. Hilton established his grantmaking foundation in 1944 to help impoverished and disadvantaged people worldwide. Today, the work includes efforts to boost the work of Catholic sisters.
