The John Muir Health mission is to improve the health of the communities we serve with quality and compassion. Our vision statement provides direction for the community benefit programs of John Muir Health:
John Muir Health Vision for a Healthy Community
- All residents achieve and maintain optimal physical and mental health
- Children succeed in school and reach their full potential
- Residents are economically independent and have access to adequate, affordable housing
- Neighborhoods are safe
- Violence, discrimination and injustice are eliminated
- The air and water are clean, safe and sufficient.
- Residents are civically engaged and connected to their community
Why We Are Committed to Community Benefit Programs
- Consistent with our mission and integral to our not-for-profit, tax exempt status
- Exemplifies our John Muir Health values
- Supports our most vulnerable residents with health education, prevention, early detection and intervention services as well as increased access and support to maintain an optimal quality of life.
- Contributes to maximizing appropriate utilization of our inpatient services so the most limited resources are available to the residents of the communities we serve
- Another way, in addition to direct patient care, John Muir Health makes a difference in the communities we serve
- An extension of why John Muir Health employees chose health care—to make their world a better place.
How We Invest in Health Improvement Programs
JMH makes its community benefit contributions through two vehicles. Together these two strategies extend our reach to support community based organizations as well as firmly connecting our hospital and clinical expertise to community programs that we would otherwise not reach as effectively.
John Muir/Mt. Diablo Community Health Fund
The John Muir/Mt. Community Health Fund (CHF), a separately incorporated supporting organization to John Muir Health, is responsible for the grant-making component of John Muir Health's community benefit program. The CHF awards grants to community-based health initiatives and supports the development of interagency health partnerships that are often necessary to achieve the best health outcomes from funded initiatives.
Community Health Alliance
Our community programs and partnerships are managed through the John Muir Community Health Alliance®. Our programs focus on those who are most at risk. They connect John Muir Health expertise with community-based organization expertise so together we can do more than each entity could do alone. Partnerships increase our collective impact on the health of our communities.
