CommonSpirit Health: Making Healthcare Accessible for All
CommonSpirit Health is putting their mission into action by proactively helping vulnerable patients access care.
Why it matters
With rising healthcare costs, many patients struggle to afford needed care. CommonSpirit is addressing this through innovative screening and support programs, including recent donations of over $200,000 to five local nonprofit organizations. Their support extends to organizations like The INN Between, providing hospice care for homeless individuals
The big picture
Beyond financial assistance, CommonSpirit is addressing critical community needs:
– Implementing a Zero Suicide Prevention program with dedicated specialists
– Expanding mental and behavioral health services
– Using community health needs assessments to guide investment decisions
Bottom line
CommonSpirit is helping fulfill their mission by identifying vulnerable populations and creating targeted programs to serve them.
