Our community health investments in 2023 strengthened our communities, which faced food insecurity, housing instability, financial strain, wildfires and other climate-related events, and changes to government health coverage programs. Addressing these challenges required us to continue to prioritize health at the individual, community, and systemic levels.
For individuals, including our members, we increased access to our Medical Financial Assistance and Charitable Health Coverage programs. We supported a robust community outreach program to help Medicaid enrollees keep their health coverage after pandemic-era protections ended.
Across our communities, we worked with partners to help remove barriers to good health. We launched the Kaiser Permanente Community Support Hub to screen more members for social health needs such as access to nutritious food and being able to meet their basic needs. The hub connects members and nonmembers who need support to community resources and government assistance programs.
Together with our partners, we expanded programs to prevent homelessness. We evolved initiatives to address climate change and gun violence. And, we remained steadfast advocates for the systems changes needed to make progress toward health equity and better health for all.
In 2024, we’ll continue to partner with our communities to expand access to high-quality health care and coverage for people with low incomes. We’ll work to connect people to the social services they need to be healthy. We’ll continue to play a vital role in improving community conditions that drive health and equity and strengthen public health for all.
