Community Health & Well-Being

We're committed to taking care of your whole health. And your neighbors'. And their neighbors', too.

Everyone deserves to live their healthiest life. And, a healthy life means so much more than the fraction of time spent receiving needed care in a healthcare facility. Trinity Health’s Community Health & Well-Being focuses on the combination of social, economic, environmental, and cultural, conditions people need, within their communities, to thrive and live their best lives.

We understand not all communities are created equal. That’s where we step in and step up. We do what is necessary to promote good health for everyone. It's not just our job, it's our calling.

Our Mission For Life

When most people think of healthcare they think about the attention and care they receive when they visit a healthcare facility, but clinical care accounts for 20% of our overall health and well-being in the United States.

Community Health & Well-Being focuses on optimizing health for people experiencing poverty and other vulnerabilities. We do this by going beyond our hospital walls to serve our communities and our members in every way possible.
