In a state as large as New York, a steady stream of smart, innovative work is coming from NYHealth grantees and non-grantees alike that is relevant to NYHealth’s program areas: Healthy Food, Healthy Lives; Empowering Health Care Consumers; and Veterans’ Health. These organizations should be elevating their work and informing key stakeholders at regional, statewide, and national conferences, meetings, and other convenings, both in person and online. Yet, because of a lack of time and resources, they often are unable to do so.
Through this Request for Proposals (RFP), NYHealth will sponsor community-based organizations, health departments, and other low-resource organizations to attend and present at local, State, and national conferences related to connecting New Yorkers with the healthy food they need to thrive; empowering health care consumers; and meeting the needs of returning veterans and their families. NYHealth will support both organizations already engaged in this work and those new to these fields in New York State.
Please find the detailed Sponsoring Conference Participation in Support of Healthy Food, Healthy Lives; Consumer Empowerment; and Veterans’ Health RFP here.
