The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.
"Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and inhumane.” —Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
At Providence, we recognize that long-standing inequities and systemic injustices exist. This has led to health disparities among communities that have been marginalized because of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion or socioeconomic status.
Each year, we serve more than 6 million people of every walk of life. We value each member of our diverse communities for their identities, journeys and experiences. And we commit to doing the personal and institutional work needed to live the values of Providence, which call us to welcome all and serve one another with respect and dignity.
Together, with your investment, we can make significant strides toward improving health outcomes for all.
With you, we can prioritize health equity for all and create a world where every person has the chance to live their healthiest life. Thank you for your generous consideration.
Providence supported program, The Community Health Worker Academy takes a new approach to promote health equity by placing community health workers in Southern California in urban clinical settings and training them to assist patients in addressing social determinants that impact health outcomes.
Community health workers are trusted, front-line public health care workers who serve as a vital bridge between the community and the health care system. They understand local cultural differences, respond to pressing health need, and foster strong relationships with community members, helping people navigate complex systems, reducing health inequities and providing cost-effective care close to home.
