Jacob and Valeria Langeloth Foundation Health Writing Fellowship

After a three-year pilot project, in 2015 the Jacob and Valeria Langeloth Foundation provided $50,000 to endow a fellowship for writing in the area of health, healing and wellbeing.  They define healing not only as physical recovery from illness, accident or trauma, but also the emotional dimensions of recovery.

The Langeloth Fellowship supports those working in these areas for underserved populations, with particular interest in those with no or severely limited income, cultural differences, lack of English language skills, lack of health insurance or inadequate health insurance, limited access to health care services, mental illness, substance abuse, homelessness, incarceration and exposure to trauma.

The Jacob and Valeria Langeloth Foundation Health Writing Fellowship supports writing on creative approaches to health and well-being.
