Building Healthy Communities
As an anchor institution, AtlantiCare recognizes that building health communities extends beyond providing high quality health care. We believe everyone deserves stable housing, sufficient income, access to healthy food, and a safe environment in order to achieve their best possible health regardless of background or socioeconomic status. Our Mobile Market, Midtown Atlantic City Revitalization Project, Healthy Schools, Healthy Children and our Workforce Development programs are just a few ways we are creating healthier spaces to live, work, learn, play, and be well.
Community Outreach Requests & Sponsorship
AtlantiCare’s deeply held commitment to improving the health of the communities we serve is strengthened by partnering with organizations that align with our Vision 2030 Serving Community strategic priorities to make a meaningful impact in our community. We provide financial, in-kind event support, and event sponsorship to select non-profit community organizations, whose work focuses on at least one of three key areas identified as top needs by our community in our Community Health Needs Assessment. These concerns are magnified in limited-resource communities, where our focus lies.
- Health Disparities – programs that aim to address mental health, addiction, access to care, and leading causes of death
- Social Determinants of Health – programs that aim to address access to food and affordable housing and other social factors known to impact quality of life
- Economic Revitalization– programs that support the local economy with a primary focus on Atlantic City
