About PIHC.
At Providence Institute for a Healthier Community (PIHC) our vision is: healthier people, healthier relationships, healthier communities, created together
WHO WE ARE
Being healthy is about so much more than physical health—it’s about mental and emotional health, strong relationships, safe places to live, healthy food, connected communities and good jobs. Services that address these dimensions of wellbeing are often siloed and difficult to find, making it hard for people to work towards whole person health.
WE ARE THE CONNECTORS
We serve as a community hub — bridging the gap between traditional medical care and whole health. We make it easier for community members to find and use the resources they need to be healthy.
WE DO THIS BY
Reaching out and listening to our community, letting them define what health and happiness really mean.
Building relationships with local partners who are dedicated to protecting and improving the health of our diverse communities.
Connecting people directly to trusted local resources so they can take action and improve their heath and well-being.
