We're excited to announce that BHF, in partnership with  Community Justice & Mediation Center (CJAM) , has received over $600,000 through Community Voices for Health, an initiative led by  Public Agenda  and  Altarum , with funding from the  Robert Wood Johnson Foundation . The funding will support the Community Voices for Health in Monroe County, Indiana project which works to build a stronger engagement infrastructure that involves a broader range of people – especially marginalized and underserved communities – so their voices are heard in healthcare policymaking decisions.

Area 10 Agency on Aging and Rural Transit staff have been working diligently to deliver groceries and medications to their home-bound clients across four counties during the pandemic, in addition to operating their pantries.
