We understand that health and wellness begin long before individuals seek clinical care and prioritize the importance of the social determinants of health and access to quality resources and care as driving factors for the well-being of individuals, families, and communities throughout their lives.

We realize achievement of improved health and well-being of the people and communities we serve is a long-term commitment that requires intentional efforts focused on health equity.

We seek to balance its work for the least served by providing the best quality clinical care, connecting individuals and families to needed resources, and working with communities to improve their health and well-being.

We don’t do it alone. To address the needs of every community, we support, convene, and/or partner with others engaged in and/or leading efforts to improve community health and well-being.

We build relationships with churches and faith communities of all denominations to advance the health and well-being of families and whole communities.

We partner with people with lived experiences to co-design, co-create, co-evaluate changes that improve health and well-being of families and communities.

We support place-based efforts to strengthen historically underserved communities.

We sustain a culture of continuous improvement and learning where innovation is welcomed, practiced, tested, and implemented.
