The Georgetown – Howard Center for Medical Humanities and Health Justice (MHHJ) is pleased to announce the call for proposals for its 2025-2026 Community Fellowship. This fellowship is an opportunity for residents of the Washington, DC Metropolitan area (District of Columbia, Northern Virginia, Montgomery County, and Prince George's County) dedicated to advancing health justice in their communities. This fellowship provides a platform for community changemakers and cultural trailblazers including, but not limited to, religious and spiritual leaders, teachers, storytellers, journalists, organizers, creatives, artists, and healthcare professionals, to develop and implement projects that promote community-engaged approaches to understanding and tackling health disparities through the medical humanities. The MHHJ Community Fellowship is designed to foster collaboration among community members, scholars, artists, and health professionals, creating a vibrant network dedicated to using arts and humanities approaches to address health disparities and promoting well-being within diverse communities. Each year, the fellowship focuses on a specific theme; this year's theme is "Networks."
