Molina Healthcare of Ohio (“Molina”) is dedicated to building
healthier communities and is committing over $1.5 million to
support innovative programs across Ohio.
The Molina Community Innovation Fund will provide grants and
sponsorships to various partners launching innovative programs
designed to increase access to care, provide unique approaches to
reinforce health and wellness, and support integrated care
services. The funding also supports organizations helping to fill
community needs around social determinants of health, which can
have a lasting effect on the health outcomes of women, children,
and vulnerable seniors. Through Molina’s efforts with partner
organizations, Ohioans will be provided with additional access to
resources that support their physical and behavioral health,
especially amid the COVID crisis.
“Molina Healthcare is committed to the wellness of all Ohioans,
especially those in vulnerable communities,” said Ami Cole, plan
president of Molina Healthcare of Ohio. “Programs that address
social determinants of health such as access to stable housing,
nutritious food, transportation, job skills training, and everyday
essentials have a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of
Ohioans. Molina’s Community Innovation Fund allows us to partner
with community organizations and help them provide these
much-needed programs and resources to their communities.”
Grants from this program are helping improve the lives of
Ohioans in areas including:
- Increasing behavioral health access via telehealth for Ohio’s
youth;
- Providing increased capacity for school-based health care for
children and families;
- Completing lead abatement in childcare settings;
- Supporting new mothers with diapers and other essentials during
home visits;
- Helping individuals obtain needed identification documents and
necessary skills to secure stable employment;
- Feeding community members experiencing homelessness or
financial distress with nutritious foods;
- Increasing access to dental care by bringing services to the
community through a mobile dental model; and
- Proving age-appropriate books for young Ohioans.
In 2019, Molina of Ohio donated over $1 million to various
community organizations through its Community Innovation Fund.
