Renown Health seeks partnerships to help improve the health and well-being of all northern Nevadans. El proceso de solicitud para la financiación del evento estará abierto desde ahora hasta el 30 de abril. Renown Health’s mission is to make a genuine difference in the health and well-being of people and communities. Renown is seeking to partner with other non-profit organizations focused on inspiring better health in Nevada, and to help fund their efforts. “Improving the health and wellness of an entire population of people is not easy. It is a huge task. At Renown, we believe it is a battle worth fighting. We focus on preventing illnesses, and we are working across the state with partners who believe in our mission- to keep people healthy, to make healthcare more accessible and affordable, and to achieve the vision of a healthy Nevada,” says Tony Slonim, MD, DrPH, President and CEO of Renown Health. Nevada continues to rank near the bottom of overall health rankings in the U.S., and suffers from high mortality rates for chronic conditions like heart disease, cancer and chronic respiratory disease. These staggering statistics have solidified Renown’s commitment to advancing equitable clinical care and improving the health and well-being of our community. “La atención médica clínica solo afecta a una pequeña parte del estado de salud de una persona, menos del 20 %. The larger influence comes from social determinants of health (SDoH), which are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. The specific factors that drive the greatest health improvements are health-related behaviors, socioeconomic factors and environmental factors. Each one of these determinants works independently and interacts with each other to affect your overall health status,” says Dr. Slonim. “It takes collaboration and dedication to make a difference, and we know our community is a healthier place for all, thanks to our partners’ remarkable contributions.” “Through its community development program, Renown strives to make real and positive change for real people in our community,” said Erica Murich, executive director of Truckee Meadows Tomorrow. “El apoyo de Renown nos ha permitido desarrollar y lanzar el portal de datos de la comunidad NevadaTomorrow.org, llevar a cabo nuestra increíblemente popular serie de conversaciones con la comunidad, y poner en marcha nuestro tan esperado informe de la comunidad que se publicará en otoño de 2021. Renown's generosity and willingness to build bridges and partnerships has made it possible for Truckee Meadows Tomorrow to not only survive these challenging times, but to thrive and grow.” “Even in the thick of the most trying year for the medical community, Renown never lost its focus on the partnerships it’s worked hard to build on behalf of a healthier, happier community,” said Fayth Ross, executive director of Urban Roots. “Hemos trabajado con Renown desde 2016, el punto medio de nuestros once años en la comunidad, y han sido fundamentales para ayudarnos a desarrollar nuestras ofertas: funding the creation of curriculum, helping source materials to build our farm, and the very ground the farm is on presently. Without their ability to see our mission is very clearly aligned with their own, I don’t know that Urban Roots would be in the same position it is today.” “We are so grateful to Renown Health for the community sponsorship,” said Sean Hill, vice president of advancement at Sierra Nevada Journeys. “This program provided us with start-up funding for a community needs assessment, a critical process we are undergoing to increase access to STEM and outdoor experiences for underrepresented kids and families in our community.” New to the funding application this year, all applicants will visit NevadaTomorrow.org to identify five data indicators that their organizations will use to help measure the impact of their event or program. Using this tool, applicants can access quality of life indicators—such as obesity, alcoholism, homelessness, or depression—and identify trends, challenges and opportunities in our local communities. “Every organization we support through our community events and project sponsorship makes a positive difference in our community,” said Annie Zucker, manager of community impact at Renown. “Now, every applicants is aligned to the same powerful national database to help identify credible national and state sources, down to census track level to drive their health improvement efforts and measure progress. Once their event or program is complete, they’ll be able to reflect back on the data and see the direct impact of their work. We are excited to see how they use their research to guide lasting change for our community.”  Over the years, Renown has supported hundreds of organizations throughout our community as they set out to enhance lives and create a lasting impact in the northern Nevada region. These organizations include Truckee Meadows Tomorrow, Urban Roots, Sierra Nevada Journeys, Boys & Girls Club of Western Nevada, Nevada Cancer Coalition, Girls on the Run, Nevada Humane Society and many others. En 2016, Renown comenzó a abordar las tasas excesivas de cáncer, enfermedad pulmonar y enfermedad cardíaca a través del lanzamiento del primer estudio de salud poblacional comunitario del país, llamado The Healthy Nevada Project®. To assure payment is not a barrier to health improvement, testing is offered at no charge to Nevadans. En 2019, el Healthy Nevada Project se expandió al sur de Nevada, en colaboración con el Centro Médico Universitario del Sur de Nevada en Las Vegas. Con 60,000 participantes en el estudio hasta la fecha, el Healthy Nevada Project® es el estudio genético con la mayor velocidad de inscripción en el país. The Project is also the first of its kind to return clinical results to study volunteers, which means participants can learn their genetic risks tied to heart disease and certain cancers, as well as lifestyle changes that could potentially help reduce their risk and prevent disease. El estudio de investigación sigue en curso y los kits de pruebas genéticas para el hogar aún están disponibles sin cargo para los nevadenses mayores de 18 en este sitio web. As a non-profit organization, Renown reinvests every dollar earned back to the community, in staffing, technology, treatments, training and research to improve health and prevent illness. En el año fiscal 2019, Renown invirtió casi el doble de lo que invirtió el hospital sin fines de lucro promedio en beneficios comunitarios, o casi $158 millones en educación sobre salud, apoyo a otras iniciativas comunitarias relacionadas con la salud sin fines de lucro y servicios de atención médica sin reembolso. En los últimos cinco años, Renown ha invertido más de $8 millones de dólares en subvenciones para la comunidad. Solo el año pasado, Renown destinó $1.5 millones de dólares en subvenciones comunitarias. “El largo legado de servicio de Renown, arraigado en Nevada, comenzó en 1862 como un hospital del condado, el Washoe Medical Center”, comenta David Hansen, director ejecutivo de Hometown Health. “Now, Renown Health, northern Nevada’s largest locally - governed, not-for-profit, integrated healthcare network serves the community by providing care through hospitals, medical offices, and our not- for-profit insurance plan, Hometown Health.” Funds are limited, and the organization is unable to approve every request. A request for sponsorship or funding must benefit the geographic area served by Renown Health or Hometown Health, relate to identified community health priorities and align with Renown’s mission, vision and values. A complete list of sponsorship criteria is found here. Any organization receiving previous funding needs to apply online each year for any new requests. Todas las solicitudes se realizan en línea entre el 1 de marzo y el 30 de abril de 2021.
