Community investing
Funding and supporting our community’s health
By supporting events, activities and organizations, we can make better health easier for our patients, members, students and employees — and all who live in the communities we serve.
Our primary funding allocation will go toward initiatives identified in the 2024 Community Health Needs Assessment.
Geisinger’s key priorities in the community:
Access to healthcare:
- Free clinics
- Under-insured or under-resourced health programs
- Initiatives promoting healthcare careers
- Projects to enhance population health literacy
Behavioral health:
- Training to recognize and refer people in need
- Reducing stigma through education
- Increasing awareness of mental health issues
Chronic disease management:
- Programs to help people manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma/COPD, high cholesterol, cancer and dementia
Community development:
- Strengthening community development by supporting initiatives that address key social determinants of health, including:
- Expanding access to nutritious food
- Promoting active lifestyles
- Enhancing workforce opportunities
- Fostering economic growth
- Supporting healthy school environments
Volunteerism:
- Opportunities for Geisinger employees to volunteer
- Activities that promote the benefits of volunteerism in the community
