Research indicates that socio-economic, ecological, and environmental variables – colloquially referred to as social drivers of wellness – have a profound impact on health outcomes, with an estimated 80% of health disparities attributed to these factors. The efficacy of this needs-based approach is deeply ingrained in the organization’s ethos. As the healthcare landscape undergoes transformations, the institution is adapting to address previously unmet needs.
A multifaceted initiative is underway, encompassing collaborations with organizations such as The Centers and Neighborhood Family Practice, which provide specialized services, including behavioral health services and health services for families, from the East 22nd Street hub. A comprehensive plan is being implemented to tailor services to the specific requirements of Cleveland’s Central neighborhood… where the St. Vincent Charity Health and Healing Hub is situated.
Efforts to address the pressing concerns of those experiencing homelessness, addiction, “and food insecurity are also underway.” The medical respite care program, situated at Joseph ⁘ Mary’s Home, “is poised for expansion following renovations.” The institution will continue to offer addiction treatment and recovery services… which have been a cornerstone of Northeast Ohio since 1952.
Outpatient behavioral health and pharmacy services will be maintained.
