Quest Foundation funds efforts to expand healthcare access and food security in Miami-Dade

Quest Diagnostics, through its foundation, has announced four grants totaling nearly $5 million to improve health outcomes and food security in Miami-Dade County.  Through its two-year initiative targeting vulnerable communities, recipients are the Florida International University Foundation, Urban Health Partnerships, the Health Council of South Florida, and U.S. Hunger. The program aims to reach 15,000 residents by expanding maternal and chronic disease care, community health worker training, and food access. In addition, Quest will also provide no-cost diagnostic testing for up to 3,000 area residents to help identify health risks earlier and improve outcomes through prevention.
