Health Initiatives
Our work with our hospitals and community-based organizations allows GDAHA to serve in a unique position as a partner, facilitator, and collaborator to address the most pressing health needs of our region. These challenges, identified through the Community Health Needs Assessment, are among the most difficult to address and require all partners working together toward a shared vision.
Our hospitals’ active commitment to their mission and in service of their communities is amplified by partnering through GDAHA and our health initiatives portfolio. The community health issues we address provide a forum to strengthen our engagement and partnership with non-hospital partners across the region.
Health Initiatives Portfolio
Due to the broad, multi-stakeholder collective commitments to advancing the health of our region, GDAHA serves as a conduit for state and federal funding to support solutions-oriented work and ensure we embed transformational change in our community.
