Our commitment to our communities<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Improving health and achieving health equity in our communities requires more than high-quality medical care. Everyone needs and deserves an affordable place to call home, enough money to pay the bills, nutritious food to eat, and accessible health care.<\/p>\n

We release our 2022 Community Health Snapshot knowing too many people in our Northern California communities are struggling to meet these basic needs. Our latest assessment of community health needs confirmed access to health care, mental health services, economic opportunities, and housing remain persistent barriers to good health.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

To address these significant health needs, Kaiser Permanente Northern California invested $1.1 billion in Community Health in 2022. A significant part of our investments supported access to quality care through our participation in the Medi-Cal program and Medical Financial Assistance.<\/p>\n

We also invested in many new partnerships to improve mental health in our communities. These include strengthening NAMI California\u2019s valuable services, supporting youth mental health with Lady Gaga\u2019s Born This Way Foundation, and addressing culturally relevant access to mental health care with Black Women Organized for Political Action and Hispanas Organized for Political Equality, to name a few.<\/p>\n

Through our Stop Anti-Asian Hate and Violence Initiative, we supported violence prevention programs and direct mental health care for victims with nonprofit partners Asian Law Caucus and Asian Health Services, among others.<\/p>\n

We are also proud to partner with the California Black Freedom Fund and the Latino Community Foundation to strengthen Black- and Latino-led grassroots organizations to advance equity in California.<\/p>\n

In the stories below, you\u2019ll see how we addressed other priority health needs, and you\u2019ll hear from our community partners and the individuals they help every day. Our Communities We Serve Section details the work we do across Northern California.<\/p>\n

Improving community health is a collective endeavor. We extend our gratitude to our physician and employee volunteers for their dedication to our mission and to our community partners for their collaboration and unwavering commitment to our communities. One of the many lessons we learned from the pandemic is how we can meet some of the world\u2019s most serious challenges and save lives, working together with a shared commitment to health and equity for all.
