HPS Network finalist in Community Champions for Disability Health Challenge
The HPS Network is honored to be one of eight first-round finalists in the National Institutes of Health’s Community Champions for Disability Health Challenge. The prizes encourage community-based organizations to develop and implement strategies to address healthcare disparities experienced by those with disabilities. These eight organizations were chosen from 120 entries and each, including the HPS Network, will receive a $25,000 prize. The HPS Network plans to use the prize to further support the HPS clinics in Puerto Rico by offering transportation assistance. The Network will also use funding to support the HPS Puerto Rico Conference. It also allows the Network to compete in phase II of the contest for the opportunity to win additional funding.
