Oscar Health, Inc. (“Oscar”) (NYSE: OSCR), a leading healthcare
technology company, is announcing this year’s recipients of its
Culturally Competent Care (CCC) Grants. The initiative, which is a
component of Oscar’s CCC Program, delivers financial and
on-the-ground support to select organizations who provide access to
care in underserved communities.
Aligned with our commitment to continue expanding offerings for
both rural and Hispanic and Latino communities, Oscar is awarding a
$30,000 grant to the following recipients:
Community Health Works (CHW): A Georgia-based
non-profit supporting Hispanic-and Spanish-speaking communities by
improving access to preventive health services, reducing burden on
healthcare providers, and advocating for people financially
compromised by their medical needs. With the funding, CHW
anticipates serving an additional 500 individuals, and developing
new Spanish literacy trainings and educational materials for the
community.
MedHaul: A digital health solution and Certified
B-Corp that enables safe, reliable, and inclusive transportation,
with a deliberate emphasis on the most vulnerable and underserved
populations. With this funding, MedHaul plans to impact 960 lives
by delivering skilled transportation rides for chronically ill
patients and further enhancing their SMS Spanish capabilities for
an even broader, more inclusive platform.
“Oscar’s foundation is rooted in the belief that every
individual deserves access to affordable and high-quality
healthcare,” said Alessa Quane, Chief Insurance Officer at Oscar.
“As a leader in the ACA, we believe it’s our responsibility to
advance health equity and support mission-aligned causes beyond our
nearly one million members. We are inspired by the work that
Community Health Works and MedHaul are driving in their
communities, and we are proud to further enable their missions and
impact.”
Oscar launched its CCC Program in 2021 to address the social,
cultural, and linguistic barriers that can impact the delivery of
health services and improve outcomes for individuals in underserved
communities. By leveraging Oscar’s superpowers of member experience
and technology, the program bridges care gaps, meeting the unique
cultural needs of our members. Oscar launched the grant initiative
in 2021, as a key pillar of the CCC Program, to impact change at
the community level. Since then, Oscar has awarded $350,000 to
seven organizations.
