Trinity Health Corporation

Programs: Trinity health corporation's purpose is to govern, manage, and provide administrative services to its first tier subsidiaries. The vast majority of these first tier subsidiaries are hospital organizations exempt under section 501(c)(3) and provide needed health care services to the communities in which they are located. The services provided by trinity health corporation allow for economies of scale that in turn permit the subsidiaries to provide health care services to patients at a reasonable cost. 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 annually requires that all member organizations define - and achieve - specific community health and well-being goals. In fiscal year 2017, goals included 1) participating in local coalition and advocacy efforts aimed at curbing tobacco use and preventing obesity, and 2) assessing capacity to identify and support individuals that are housing insecure and acknowledging other barriers individuals have accessing healthcare and 3) expanding access and delivery of diabetes prevention program. Trinity health acknowledges the impact social determinants such as adequate housing, safety, access to food, education, income, and health coverage have on the health of the community. In fiscal year 2016, trinity health launched the transforming communities initiative (tci), awarding eight communities funding to improve the health and well-being of their communities in partnership with the local trinity health member hospital. The awarded communities focus on policy, system, and environmental changes that specifically impact community identified needs and that will reduce childhood obesity and youth tobacco use. In fiscal year 2017, trinity health invested $2. 7 million in tci. As a not-for-profit health system, trinity health reinvests its profits back into our communities through programs serving those who are poor and vulnerable, helping manage chronic conditions like diabetes, providing health education, promoting wellness and developing programs and policies to specifically support vulnerable populations. Annually, the organization invests over $1. 1 billion in such community benefits and works to ensure that its member hospitals and other entities/affiliates enhance the overall health of the communities they serve by addressing the specific needs of each community.
