St. Luke’s is a dedicated partner with local organizations across the region—all working together to improve the health of people in the communities we serve.
Our goal is to create healthier communities by building stronger partnerships, creating positive and measurable outcomes, and maximizing our contribution by inspiring others.
We know that health goes beyond medical care. It's how we take care of ourselves, how we take care of each other and how we nurture our community. That’s why St. Luke’s supports our communities through:
Our annual Community Benefit report underscores St. Luke’s ongoing commitment to our mission to improve the health of people in the communities we serve. The report shows real and tangible benefits to these communities. As a not-for-profit health care organization, St. Luke’s demonstrates its commitment to community service through organized and sustainable community benefit programs, including:
The St. Luke’s Health System Community Health Needs Assessments, or CHNAs, help us better understand the most significant health challenges facing the people and families in communities across our region.
The comprehensive analysis allows us to pinpoint, assess, and address our communities’ most critical needs. St. Luke’s uses the information to guide the types of health improvement programs we provide and support with community partners. The goal is to address the top health needs, provide the best care, and lower the overall cost of health care.
St. Luke’s Community Health Improvement Fund (CHIF) provides financial support to organizations or groups working to improve the health and well-being of people in our region. We annually accept requests for funding, which must meet specific criteria.
Because we understand the importance of community, collaboration and conversation, St. Luke's hopes to empower others in organizing and hosting change-making events and meetings of their own. Our Community Skill-Building and Conversations Playbook is designed to help you easily navigate the ins and outs of organizing and hosting meetings. We’ve included tips, considerations and practical examples based on our experiences. The playbook includes:
