The MHHC Foundation, the philanthropic arm of MHHC, is cognizant of the importance of decisive action and unremitting support of a collective in addressing health and social disparities for those we serve. Since 1997, the Foundation has mobilized over $50 million to enhance the programs of MHHC and support the 52,000+ patients who call the multi-site health system their medical home.
The MHHC Foundation is delighted to share the exciting news of the upcoming 22nd Annual Impact Awards Gala, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Marina Del Rey on June 27th, 2024. We extend a warm invitation to join us in celebrating this special evening, where we will embrace the theme "It Takes A Village."
At the heart of the MHHC Foundation lies a deep understanding of the invaluable strength that collective efforts bring to our local communities. "It Takes A Village" is more than just a theme for us; it is a philosophy that underscores the profound impact we can have on the well-being of our residents when we come together.
But what does "It Takes A Village" really mean to us at MHHC Foundation?
The "Village Approach" we champion emphasizes the significance of community collaboration. We encourage healthcare providers, local and community-based organizations, and policymakers to unite in addressing the diverse needs of our community. Together, we identify and bridge gaps in healthcare access, engage community members in directly impactful decision-making processes, and foster robust social connections that contribute to improved health and social outcomes directly correlated to overall wellness.
Our commitment goes beyond clinical settings, extending to social, economic, and environmental factors. When we connect with our partners and supporters of the communities we serve, we can provide resources related to housing, food security, education, and employment-because a holistic care approach is essential for not only the health, but also the overall well-being of our community.
By harnessing the collective power of our local resources, we aim to keep economic benefits circulating within our community, fostering a self-sustaining and thriving local economy. This commitment aligns seamlessly with our overarching goal of building a village where prosperity is not only shared but becomes a flourishing legacy for generations to come.
Equity and advocacy are also pillars of our mission. We passionately advocate for policies promoting health equity, addressing systemic inequalities, and amplifying marginalized voices. Through education and awareness initiatives, we empower individuals to navigate systems and raise awareness about available resources related to the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH).
At the core of "It Takes A Village" is our unwavering commitment to creating a healthier environment for everyone. With the generous philanthropic support that the MHHC Foundation receives, we aim to cultivate thriving individuals, families, and communities. Let's unite and continue to build a village where everyone not only survives but thrives!
