At Morton Hospital, we reach beyond hospital walls, into the surrounding communities, to address the most prevalent health- and wellness-related needs of our community members. Guided by a careful analysis of community needs, Morton Hospital's Community Benefits Program aims to help those most vulnerable to make life-changing improvements in health and address social and economic factors that impact overall well-being.
As part of the determination of needs (DoN) process, steered by the MA DPH and Morton Hospital’s commitment to investing in the community, this RFP will provide funding to groups in our community who are providing quantifiable, evidence-based and sustainable initiatives to our community with a focus on ensuring equitable care is accessible to all, particularly those of diverse backgrounds.
Applications for our 2022 DoN Funding RFP are now closed.
