Hearst Health Prize for Excellence in Population Health - Submissions Due Aug. 9

Applications for the 2020 Hearst Health Prize are currently being accepted through August 9, 2019, 3:00 PM EDT/12:00 PM PDT. The winner will receive a $100,000 cash prize in recognition of outstanding achievement in managing or improving population health. Up to two finalists will receive a cash award of $25,000 each. This is an amazing opportunity to showcase and get rewarded for an impactful population health program or project that is really making a difference!

The Hearst Health Prize, in partnership with the Jefferson College of Population Health (JCPH), was created to help identify and promote promising initiatives in the field that improve health outcomes. The goal is to discover, support, and showcase the work of an individual, group, or institution that has successfully implemented a population health program that has made a measurable difference.

Last year we received over 150 impressive submissions from across the country showcasing a range of projects aimed at improving the health of populations. The 2019 winner, Sharp Transitions, was recognized at the Population Health Colloquium for its outstanding home-based palliative care program for patients with advanced and progressive chronic illness who are not ready for hospice care. Additionally, two finalists, Arkansas SAVES, and Mental health Outreach for MotherS (MOMS) Partnership® were each awarded $25,000 for their impactful programs.

Finalists will be invited to present their project during a special poster session at the Population Health Colloquium in Philadelphia, March 30-April 1, 2020. The winner of the prize will be announced during the opening session of the Population Health Colloquium on March 31, 2020.
