Hamilton Health Sciences awarded the Novartis Health Equity Initiative grant

Hamilton Health Sciences is pleased to be a recipient of a grant through the Novartis Health Equity Initiative, which recognizes organizations who aim to dismantle systemic barriers and build inclusive, community-led health solutions.

“Hamilton Health Sciences is grateful to be recognized as a change-maker and for this generous gift. This support will expand our equity data collection for patients facing language, sociodemographic and technological barriers, as well as expand our social prescribing program – connecting patients to community resources like housing, food security, employment and wellness activities. By embedding social prescribing into our Electronic Medical Records system, building partnerships and creating a dedicated fund, we aim to deliver care that addresses both medical and social needs. These efforts will help ensure equity-denied populations receive holistic support for meaningful health outcomes,” said Rochelle Reid, Senior Lead and Strategic Advisor, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, Hamilton Health Sciences.
