Mini-Grants 2012-2013

In 2010, the Wyoming Office of Multicultural Health (WOMH) was awarded the State Partnership Grant to Improve Minority Health (SPG) from the federal Office of Minority Health, Department of Health and Human Services.  The purpose of the grant is to increase the effectiveness of strategic partnerships to improve the health status of minority populations and eliminate disparities for a variety of conditions.  The WOMH selected three key focus areas related to the following Healthy People 2020 topics and objectives: Access to Health Services, Nutrition and Weight Status, and Physical Activity.  The intent of the SPG mini-grant program is to provide community agencies the resources to work on local, county, and statewide projects to improve health infrastructure and build capacity to meet the above goals.  Developing initiatives on a local basis allows each community to select projects that will work to address the issues identified above, while adapting to the challenges posed by the individual economic, geographic, and cultural differences of each community.
