Four Trailblazing Communities Awarded the RWJF Culture of Health Prize

Today, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation celebrates four communities from across the country who are rallying around a shared commitment to health, opportunity, and equity. Selected from nearly 200 applicants, the winners of the 2018 Culture of Health Prize are: Cicero, Illinois; Eatonville, Florida; Klamath County, Oregon; and San Antonio, Texas.

These four winners join a growing network of 39 trailblazing communities who are pursuing proven strategies and innovative ideas, leveraging their unique strengths, and bringing partners together to ensure better health flourishes for everyone. From expanding early childhood education in Cicero, Illinois to encouraging residents to drive solutions in Eatonville, Florida, these communities understand that collaboration is critical for achieving long-lasting change. Whether it’s strengthening the job skills of local residents, like in Klamath County, Oregon, or embracing a data-driven approach, like in San Antonio, Texas, Prize winners are building healthier communities from the ground up.
