EliHealth Initiative Receives Grant to Expand Pelvic Health Access for Underserved Women
The EliHealth Initiative, a Connecticut-based nonprofit, has secured grant funding from the David N. Lane Trust for Aged & Indigent Women, administered by Bank of America. The funds are designated to improve pelvic health education and treatment accessibility for financially disadvantaged older women facing urinary incontinence. The initiative aims to combat the misconception that bladder leakage is an unavoidable part of aging while addressing financial barriers to care. By partnering with community health organizations, EliHealth will educate patients on insurance coverage via Medicare and Medicaid and provide direct assistance for treatments such as pelvic floor therapy and non-invasive wearable devices like Elitone.
