WOONSOCKET – The CVS Health Foundation has awarded the Thundermist Health Center an $80,000 grant in support of a school absenteeism program.
The award is part of a nationwide distribution by CVS Health of $5 million through its Community Health Investment program, which aims to increase access to health care in communities across the country. The private foundation is an arm of CVS Health Corporation.
The grants were awarded to school-based health care centers, free and charitable clinics and community health centers through the foundation’s partnerships with the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics, the School-Based Health Alliance and the National Association of Community Health Centers.
“As a pharmacy innovation company, we are committed to addressing the need for more accessible, coordinated health care in our local communities,” said Eileen Howard Boone, president of the CVS Health Foundation. “We are excited to announce new grant recipients whose dedicated work will help us continue to support unique approaches and models needed to improve outcomes and lower health care costs.”
Thundermist’s program is focused on absenteeism, high-risk and disciplinary action.
The foundation also says new data illustrate that grants previously awarded through these partnerships are already making a measurable difference to meet community health needs.
“Through our partnership with leading community health organizations, we’ve been able to make meaningful progress toward improving care coordination, better managing chronic conditions and increasing access to care,” Boone said.
