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 and 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 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 they 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 2023 (fy23), Trinity Health contributed $1.47 billion in community benefit spending to aid those who are vulnerable and living in poverty, and to improve the Health status of the communities in which we serve. In addition to annual community benefit spending, Trinity Health implements a socially responsible investing program. As of the end of fy23, $62.7 million (including $7.0 million in new lending) was allocated in the following areas:- housing: building affordable housing; improving access to senior housing; and combatting homelessness ($35.5 million)- education: supporting students entering the Health professions ($10.1 million)- facilities: building community facilities for nonprofits, social service providers, and other community-based organizations ($9.7 million)- economic development: encouraging small business development, creating local jobs and supporting access to healthy foods; quality childcare; and other community services ($7.4 million)across the system, nearly 700,000 of patients seen in primary care settings were screened for social needs. For about 30% of those patients, at least one social need was identified. Togethercare - Trinity Health's electronic Health record, powered by epic - has made it possible for Trinity Health to standardize screening for social needs and connect patients to community resources through the community resource directory communityresourcestrinityhealthorg Community Health workers (chw's) serve as liaisons between Health and social services. Trinity Health chw's partnered with population Health nurses and social work care managers to serve medicare patients at risk for preventable hospitalizations, resulting in a decrease in preventable hospitalizations for the medicare population overall, and also for low-income patients dually enrolled in medicare and medicaid. Chw's advance social and clinical care integration by assessing and addressing a patient's social needs, home environment and other social risk factors, and ultimately connecting the patient (and their family) to services within the community. Trinity Health provides a 40+ hour foundational chw and chronic disease-specific training to Trinity health-employed chw's and also to community partners that employ chw's. In 2017, Trinity Health received a six-year, $8.5 million grant from the centers for disease control and prevention to increase the number of national diabetes prevention program (dpp) delivery sites, increase program enrollment, maintain participation rates, and increase benefit coverage. In addition, the grant was used to standardize clinical screening and detection of diabetes. During the grant period, Trinity Health built the national dpp into its electronic Health record system to make identifying patients and enrolling them in the program easier.
