Strategies & Goals

Every Resident Deserves Excellent Health

Our purpose begins with a commitment to health equity. We believe everyone deserves a fair opportunity to live a long, healthy life – where one’s race, ethnicity, gender, income, sexual orientation, neighborhood, or other social conditions should not affect their health outcomes.

We recognize that these factors collectively play a more significant role in achieving health equity than medical care alone. We’re dedicated to ensuring that every resident achieves excellent health.

Our strategy and goals serve as our guiding focus in addressing the social determinants of health.
