Health Affairs Article About Hartford Foundation Initiative
The GrantWatch section of Health Affairs published an article in 2010 about a John A. Hartford Foundation initiative called Hurricane and Disaster Preparedness for Long-Term Care Facilities. The initiative was a response to the deaths of elderly residents at long-term care residences following Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma back in 2005. Titled “Helping Nursing Homes Prepare for Disasters,” the article contains insights into successful grant making related to disasters and describes activities of the Hartford Foundation grantees.
