Wellstar Center for Health Equity 

Pilot Initiative: Operation M.I.S.T

In the 2019 CHNA, Wellstar Health System recognized the maternal mortality and morbidity crisis that is impacting birth givers and the health of their babies. In response, the Wellstar Community Health (WCH) team seeks to establish a new partnership with Operation M.I.S.T (Monitor, Intervene, Survive, Thrive).

Submission Steps 

Proposals are being requested through a two-step process, beginning with a Notice of Intent (NOI) to describe your organization and its intention to submit a full proposal. 

Step 1 Notice of Intent Due May 20, 2021: NOIs will be reviewed for fidelity and a select number of partners will be invited to submit a full proposal.

About Leveraging Technology 

Wellstar will support initiatives that leverage technology to produce long-term, sustainable changes in communities we serve. Initiatives should be tailored to a community need and align with each partner’s mission. At the end of 12 months, partners are expected to demonstrate improvements in: 

  • Access to Health Care so that residents receive timely, high-quality, and culturally-appropriate medical care when they need it; or, 

  • Access to Social Determinants of Health Support Services so that residents receive timely, high-quality food, employment, housing, transportation, education, and legal resources to improve daily living when they need it.
