At Saint Luke's Foundation, our mission is to achieve health equity by addressing social determinants of health for people in neighborhoods surrounding Saint Luke's and throughout Cuyahoga County.
Mission & VisionAmong the factors that contribute to health inequity is the quality and duration of education - from early childhood through post-secondary education and/or job training.
Educational AttainmentFinancial stability provided by employment and/or use of available government benefits such as SNAP and Medicaid, allows people to access health insurance, healthy food and safe & affordable housing.
Financial StabilityStable housing is a social determinant of health in three primary ways: adequate housing conditions, affordability of housing, and residential stability.
Housing StabilityWhen we have family, friends and coworkers to laugh and cry with and feel part of a community we live longer, healthier lives. Social support and positive relationships are key determinants of health.
Social ConnectionsAll communities need access to healthy foods and safe places to be active. Low-income communities, particularly communities of color, are more likely to lack that access.
Healthy Eating & Active LivingZip codes have more impact on health than genes. Healthy environments include safe, well-maintained housing and neighborhoods with sidewalks, playgrounds, parks, trees & full-service supermarkets.
