Below, we have tabulated a list of the three most-read GrantWatch Blog posts in August 2010. (GrantWatch Blog launched in March 2010.) Here is a chance to take a gander at these posts if you missed them when the original Tweet or e-alert came out.
- “The Relief of Suffering from Serious Illness: How Foundations Can Lessen the Pain,” by Rosemary Gibson, independent consultant (date of post: August 6, 2010).
- “Foundation Underscores the Merits of Healthy Food Choices,” by Lee-Lee Prina (date of post: July 28, 2010).
- “Reducing Health Care Disparities Affecting People with Diabetes,” by Lee-Lee Prina (date of post: July 17, 2010).
Heading the list was a post by Gibson, whom many of you may remember from her years at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. She writes here about palliative care, which “seeks to relieve symptoms and suffering for patients with serious illness regardless of prognosis.” She describes the good things about palliative care and mentions how foundations’ funding could help increase its availability.
Next on the list was a post highlighting an issue of the Heinz Endowments’ magazine called h, which focused on eating healthy food. The GrantWatch Blog post also points out a few foundations that are funding obesity prevention efforts, and it directs readers to the Table of Contents of the March 2010 issue of Health Affairs, whose theme was “Child Obesity: The Way Forward.”
Coming in at third place was a post highlighting the Merck Company Foundation’s Alliance to Reduce Disparities in Diabetes. Merck’s foundation has committed $15 million through 2013 to this effort on diabetes and disparities. The post also includes a list of related resources on one of the following topics: diabetes, health disparities, and chronic diseases in general.
