UWCF’s Health Initiative helps to improve condition specific health indicators and reduce unnecessary ER visits, days in the hospital, rehabilitation centers and nursing homes.
Help us to improve the health of our fellow citizens.
UWCF worked with local health experts to identify the health services that would meet local, critical needs and the specific assessments that would reliably measure the results of funded services.
With guidance from experts on the Health Steering Team, UWCF increased access to health care for the hard working, uninsured.
Polk County is the ninth most obese county in the nation. After participating in several community-wide health assessment plans, UWCF prioritized services for illnesses related to obesity (diabetes, hypertension, etc.), behavioral health (mental illness and substance abuse) and dental services as the top three critical health issues in central Florida. Local studies are reviewed with experts annually.
6,319
individuals received multiple health services.
