    Hometown Health Grant

    HH Grant 1

    Mayo Clinic Health System believes that health is more than the absence of illness. It includes an environment that supports the physical, emotional and social well-being of those who live, work and play there. In fact, studies show that many of the factors that have the greatest impact on our health occur in our communities, including the Barron area.

    We are pleased to offer the Hometown Health Grant as part of our investment into improving the health of the communities we serve.

    The grant supports innovative efforts that align with our 2021 funding priorities to:

    • Improve mental health with an emphasis on strengthening community mental health services and suicide prevention, and supporting the resiliency across the lifespan.
    • Prevent obesity and reduce chronic disease with a focus on reducing food insecurity and increasing public access to physical activity.
    • Prevent alcohol misuse and substance abuse with an emphasis on engaging youth.
    • Champion equity, diversity and inclusion with an emphasis on advancing conversations in the community and engaging rural populations.
    • Strengthen health care workforce development with a focus on supporting youth in education and postsecondary career development opportunities.

    The grant works in partnership with community-based organizations and residents to translate their vision for healthy communities into visible, concrete changes and, ultimately, a healthier hometown. Grant recipients are engaged for an entire year and an outcomes report is required at the end of the funding cycle.


    How to apply for a Hometown Health Grant
