Trinity health corporation's purpose is to govern, manage, and provide administrative services to its subsidiaries, which include hospital organizations exempt under section 501(c)(3) that provide needed health care services to the communities in which they are located. The services provided by trinity health corporation allow for economies of scale that in turn permit the subsidiaries to provide health care services to patients at a reasonable cost. Trinity health corporation and its subsidiaries are collectively known as trinity health.trinity health is one of the largest catholic health care delivery systems in the country. Trinity health's community health & well-being (CHWB) strategy promotes optimal health for people experiencing poverty and other vulnerabilities in the communities we serve - emphasizing the necessity to integrate social and clinical care. We do this by: 1. Addressing patient social needs, 2. Investing in our communities, and 3. Strengthening the impact of our community benefit. Trinity health CHWB teams lead the development and implementation of triennial community health needs assessments and implementation strategies and focus intentionally on engaging communities and residents experiencing poverty and other vulnerabilities. We believe that community members and communities that are the most impacted by racism and other forms of discrimination experience the greatest disparities and inequities in health outcomes and should be inclusively engaged in all community health assessment and improvement efforts. Throughout our work, we aim to dismantle oppressive systems and build community capacity and partnerships.trinity health and its member hospitals are committed to the delivery of people-centered care and serving as a compassionate and transforming healing presence within the communities we serve. As a not-for-profit health system, trinity health reinvests its profits back into the communities and is committed to addressing the unique needs of each community. In fiscal year 2024 (fy24), trinity health contributed nearly $1.3 billion in community benefit spending to aid those who are experiencing poverty and other vulnerabilities, and to improve the health status of the communities in which we serve. Trinity health furthered its commitment through an additional $900 million in programs and initiatives that impact our communities - yielding a total community impact of $2.2 billion in fy24.trinity health's community investing program finished fy24 with more than $68 million committed to building vital community resources. These funds, in partnership with 31 partners, were paired with other resources to generate more than $931.5 million in investments, with approximately 80% ($749.3 million) of these funds supporting high priority zip codes within trinity health's service areas (defined as racially/ethnically-diverse communities with high levels of poverty). Between 2018 and april 2024, these investments have been instrumental in creating much-needed community resources for the people that we serve, notably:- creating at least 1,100 childcare; 7,000 kindergarten through high school education; and 1,500 early childhood education slots.- developing at least 7.3 million square feet of general real estate.- providing 872 students nearly $2.5 million in scholarships to pursue careers in the health professions.- supporting 10,800 full- and part-time positions involved in the creation of these projects.- creating 12,100 units of affordable housing over the last five years (including 360 supportive housing beds).across the trinity health system, over 875,000 (about 80%) of the patients seen in primary care settings were screened for social needs. About 28% of those screened identified at least one social need. The top three needs identified included food access, financial insecurity and social isolation. Trinity health's electronic health record (epic) made it possible for trinity health to standardize screening for social needs and connect patients to community resources through the community resource directory (CRD), community health workers (CHW's) and other social care professionals. The CRD (findhelp) yielded over 88,600 searches, with nearly 7,000 referrals made and nearly 400 organizations engaged through outreach, trainings, one-on-one engagements, and collaboratives. CHW's are frontline health professionals who are trusted members of and/or have a deep understanding of the community served. By combining their lived experience and connections to the community with effective training, CHW's provide patient-centered and culturally responsive interventions. CHW's fulfill many skills and functions including outreach, conducting assessments like a social needs screening or a health assessment, resource connection, system navigation, goal-setting and problem-solving through ongoing education, advocacy, and support. In practice, some examples are a CHW helping a patient connect with their primary care doctor, assisting with a medicaid insurance application or understanding their basic insurance benefits, or empowering a patient to ask clarifying questions about their medications or plan of care at their next doctor's appointment. In fy24, CHW's successfully addressed nearly 16,000 social needs. One social need (such as addressing housing or food needs) can often take months, or even a year to successfully close, which means the need has been fully met and is no longer identified as a need. Trinity health received a new center for disease control and prevention grant (5-year, $12.5 million award) in june 2024. Since its launch, we have created 21 new multi-sector partnerships across 16 states to accelerate health equity in diabetes prevention. This past fiscal year, our hub enrolled nearly 700 participants into the 12-month, evidence-based lifestyle change program (60% representing black, latinx and/or 65+ populations), reached out to nearly 20,350 patients at risk for type 2 diabetes, received over 1,350 point of care referrals from physicians, and screened nearly 1,500 potential participants for health-related social needs - providing CHW interventions when requested.
