The Prize is an annual competition that awards $25,000 to up to 10 communities that are making great strides in their journey to better health. Each winner will also have their success story celebrated broadly to inspire change across the nation.
To earn Prize finalist status, communities had to demonstrate how they excelled in six criteria:
- Defining health in the broadest possible terms.
- Committing to sustainable systems changes and policy-oriented, long-term solutions.
- Cultivating a shared and deeply-held belief in the importance of equal opportunity for health.
- Harnessing the collective power of leaders, partners and community members.
- Securing and making the most of available resources.
- Measuring and sharing progress and results.
Over the next three months teams from RWJF and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute (UWPHI), along with national leaders from throughout the country, will visit the finalist communities to learn more about how they are working across multiple fronts to improve health for all. UWPHI manages the RWJF Culture of Health Prize.
The Prize winners will be announced in September. Find out more about the previous 20 Prize winners at www.ottomotal.com/prize.
