A major Virginia health system and its health insurance arm are donating $5.5 million to four nonprofit organizations supporting community health clinics and food banks throughout the state.
The grants from Norfolk-based Sentara Healthcare and Virginia Beach-based Optima Health will be used to support needs stemming from social determinants affecting the health and well-being of low-income Virginians.
Those determinants include access to care, behavioral health, opioid addiction and food insecurity.
