The California Pacific Medical Center’s not-for-profit mission is to serve our community by providing high-quality, cost-effective health care service in a compassionate and respectful environment, which is supported and stimulated by education and research. Community benefit strives to meet this mission by providing access to necessary services to those in our community who cannot afford health care and by supporting programs and services for those in financial need. California Pacific Medical Center’s Community Benefit Department develops community health programs and services to improve health in San Francisco communities and increase access to health care.
CPMC is a founding member of Building a Healthier San Francisco (BHSF), in collaboration with other San Francisco non-profit hospitals, the Department of Public Health, philanthropic foundations, health plans, and community-based health organizations. Every three years BHSF conducts a community health needs assessment to determine where the stakeholders should focus efforts in order to improve the health of San Francisco residents. The 2010 health needs assessment informed the following four health improvement goals for the collaborative:
- Improve access to care
- Prevent chronic disease and increase wellness
- Reduce the incidence of communicable disease
- Engage in violence prevention
