Partners In Health (PIH) is a non-profit, global health organization that fights
social injustice by bringing the benefits of modern medical science first and
foremost to the most vulnerable communities around the world. PIH focuses
on those who would not otherwise have access to quality health care. PIH
partners with the world’s leading academic institutions to create rigorous
evidence that shapes more sound and all-inclusive global health policies. PIH
also supports local governments’ efforts to build capacity and strengthen
national health systems. As of today, PIH runs programs in 11 countries
(Haiti, Peru, Rwanda, Mexico, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Malawi, Lesotho, Russia,
Kazakhstan, Navajo Nation), where it provides direct care to millions of
patients, through public facilities and community engagement.
At The Health Trust, our mission is to build health equity in Silicon Valley.
We tackle health disparities plaguing the most vulnerable populations in our community by aligning our roles as a funder, a provider, and an advocate to impact health-related services, systems, and policies.
As a Funder
We award grants to community-based organizations and community initiatives that are building health equity. We amplify our role as a grantmaker by partnering with other like-minded funders.
As a Provider
We provide direct services to vulnerable community members. Our services are tried-and-true, evidence-based, and often not provided by other local community-based organizations.
As an Advocate
We champion systems and policy changes that align with our mission.
We amplify our role as a bold policy advocate by partnering with government officials, local leaders, and community-based organizations to catalyze change on a broader, county-wide level.
Because everyone's health matters.
Health Care Access serves as a welcoming health home in Douglas County, Kansas for persons with limited financial means. We create access to a continuum of community based services to promote health and well-being. Through an active collaborative spirit we advocate for healthy people and communities.
More than 120 physicians and hundreds of additional volunteers provide supplemental services to this primary care clinic. Health Care Access strives to give the indigent a medical home. The clinic's services save unneeded trips to the hospital emergency room which drives up health care costs for all.
