Communications

The Health Foundation’s communications department is available to assist grantees as they share their stories with the public. We also publish reports and a weekly e-mail newsletter. For more information about the communications services provided by the Health Foundation, contact our Director, Communications.

Some of the services the communications department provides include:

• Greater Cincinnati Health Watch—This free, weekly e-mail newsletter contains health news stories from Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and the nation, with emphasis on topics related to the Health Foundation’s focus areas. Also, each issue contains “Foundation News,” which includes our upcoming Requests for Proposals, workshops, publications, and other events. Nonprofit organizations are encouraged to submit items of interest to our grantees, including local health news, funding opportunities, and events.
