THE ASCENSION FOUNDATION IS DEDICATED TO ADDRESSING THE ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH DISPARITIES IN THE UNITED STATES. WE BELIEVE IN A FUTURE IN WHICH EVERY PERSON, EVERY FAMILY, AND EVERY COMMUNITY CAN THRIVE. THE ASCENSION FOUNDATION IS HELPING THAT FUTURE ARRIVE MORE QUICKLY BY COLLABORATING WITH ESTABLISHED PROGRAMS THAT ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE WHERE IT IS NEEDED MOST AND SEEKING OUT INNOVATORS WHO CAN DO EVEN MORE. WE ARE DRIVEN BY OUR COMMITMENT TO THE COMMON GOOD AND A CONVICTION THAT TOGETHER WE CAN REMOVE BARRIERS TO HEALTH EQUITY FOR EVERYONE. THE TIMING IS RIGHT TO FOCUS MORE INTENTIONALLY ON HEALTH DISPARITIES AND ENHANCE OUR IMPACT THAT COULD BE SCALED ACROSS MULTIPLE COMMUNITIES, BOTH WITHIN AND OUTSIDE OF OUR ASCENSION FOOTPRINT. WE SEEK TO DEVELOP NOVEL PROGRAMS THAT DISRUPT THE CYCLE OF GENERATIONAL POVERTY AND CREATE NEW PATHWAYS TO ECONOMIC STABILITY FOR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES IN NEED; SUPPORT THE CREATION OF A FUTURE HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE THAT BETTER REFLECTS THE RACE, ETHNICITY AND CULTURAL MIX OF THE COUNTRY; AND EXPLORE NEW PARTNERSHIPS AND TECHNOLOGIES THAT MORE QUICKLY CONNECT PEOPLE TO RESOURCES THAT ADDRESS THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. WE SEEK TO WORK WITH ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE EMBEDDED IN COMMUNITIES BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHERE THE NEEDS ARE GREATEST AND WHICH SOLUTIONS HAVE THE MOST POTENTIAL FOR SUCCESS. WE INVEST IN THOSE ALREADY WORKING TO ADVANCE HEALTH EQUITY, PROVIDING FUNDING AND OTHER SUPPORT THAT WILL HELP INCREASE AND ACCELERATE THEIR PROGRAM OUTCOMES. WE BRING A COMMITMENT TO LISTENING AND LEARNING AND TO SEEKING SOLUTIONS TOGETHER.
