67 hospitals earn spots in the second round of the BUILD Health Challenge

April 20, 2015

    More than 300 city-based partnerships from 41 states submitted applications for the inaugural round of the BUILD Health Challenge. Each submission included at least three partners from a low-income urban neighborhood: a hospital or health system, a local health department, and a community-based nonprofit.

    The applications revealed a diverse understanding of what it means to address the upstream causes of health, highlighting issues as varied as stress remediation, food system assessments, immunization programs, housing, education, and more.

    The Advisory Board would like to congratulate those hospitals and health system finalists in the second round of the BUILD Health Challenge:
