Equity pillarthe Altamed Foundation achieves good health beyond the care our patients receive in our health centers, and addresses disparities in access to care. When patients are supported by doctors and nurses who understand them, as well as have access to healthy food, a roof over the heads, a living wage, and a place to turn to when in need, they and their communities can flourish. These funds were allocated to our civic engagement efforts, and were part of a multi-million dollar campaign that drove over 3mm community members reached with covid-19 vaccine messaging and over 2,000 vaccine appointments were made.
