The CVS Health Foundation has announced the follow Focus on Healthy Aging Initiative.

This initiative is a multi-year philanthropic investment to improve health outcomes for people over age 60. As a growing proportion of the U.S. population makes up this age group, communities face greater demands to meet older adults’ health and health-related social needs.

The Foundation intends to collaborate with established multi-sector, community-based partnerships working to strengthen systems of care at the local level. We are interested in supporting mature collective impact efforts that are aiming for increased effectiveness. All funding recipients will be expected to deliver the following outcome by the conclusion of a five- year grant period: Systems of care that simplify the delivery of, and navigation to, health care and social care for older adults with brain, heart and mental health conditions. In addition, applicants must commit to use project funds to deliver at least one of these additional long-term outcomes:

1. Increased early detection, diagnosis and management of brain, heart and/or mental health conditions in the priority population.

2. Improved mental and physical health of unpaid caregivers.
