Johnson & Johnson’s Second Health Equity Innovation Challenge is now accepting applications.

Applications for the 2023–2024 Health Equity Innovation Challenge are now being accepted in five U.S. cities: Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and Philadelphia, according to Johnson & Johnson. These regions were chosen because they had a clear need for healthcare education, access, and care.

The Johnson & Johnson Health Equity Challenge was established in 2021 as a part of Johnson & Johnson’s dedication to eradicating the threats to public health posed by racial and social injustices. Its goal is to support healthcare solutions created by local business owners, start-ups, and community-based organizations that are advancing health equity among communities of color.
