Overview
This year, the Strengthening & Sustaining Mobile Healthcare Grant Program will focus on program monitoring and evaluation. This grant opportunity will allow members to develop a structured approach to collecting, analyzing, and reporting essential data to enhance program effectiveness while identifying areas for improvement.

Setting up our members for success is vital to the future of mobile healthcare. This grant program will help our members develop a strategy to demonstrate evidence of value to stakeholders, secure funding and support, and enable continuous adaptation to community needs.
