Aetna, a CVS Health (NYSE: CVS) company, announced today that online voting is underway for the 2019 “Aetna Voices of Health” program at www.aetnavoicesofhealth.com. Voices of Health is a competition and celebration of grassroots non-profit organizations across the country that are working to address social determinants of health in their communities.
The 102 Voices of Health participants aim to promote health and well-being by addressing a wide range of community issues such as childhood obesity, access to affordable prescriptions and health care services, and providing food to the homeless, just to name a few. The voting period runs from September 9 through October 13.
Aetna will award $20,000 to the organization that receives the most online votes in its market. Participating markets include: Atlanta; Central Pennsylvania; Charlotte, NC; Cincinnati, OH; Cleveland, OH; Columbus, OH; Detroit; Fresno, CA; Houston; Inland Empire, CA; Jacksonville, FL; King County, WA; Los Angeles; Louisville, KY; New York City1; Philadelphia; Pittsburgh, Santa Clara, CA; South Florida; and Tacoma, WA.
All organizations participating in this year’s Voices of Health competition were selected in April, during a public nomination period.
“We at Aetna have an amazing opportunity, and responsibility, to improve the health and well-being of our communities by focusing on how we address social determinants of health,” said Floyd Green, vice president of Aetna’s Community Affairs. “While Voices of Health is a competition, the program aims to help establish community-based networks for the organizations to leverage each other’s services, allowing for more access to those who need them.”
