UnitedHealthcare has given a $25,000 grant to the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Nursing to help reduce hunger and social isolation among seniors.
The money will support the school’s community-based, care-coordination initiative, the Richmond Health and Wellness Program.
The grant will fund free weekly student-catered meals at three senior apartment communities. Funding from the grant will also support educational efforts used to increase the variety and nutritional value of seniors’ diets.
