VII. SENTARA RECOGNIZES THE CRITICAL ROLE THAT PUBLIC, PRIVATE AND FAITH-BASED PARTNERSHIPS PLAY IN COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT. NOT ONLY DO FAITH LEADERS HAVE THE TRUST OF THEIR CONSTITUENTS BUT THEY CAN ALSO REACH NEIGHBORS IN MARGINALIZED AREAS THAT HAVE TRADITIONALLY LACKED TRUST IN SYSTEMS. IN 2023, ONE OF MANY EXAMPLES WHERE SENTARA INVESTED IN INNOVATIVE PARTNERSHIPS WAS DEMONSTRATED BY BUILDING A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP UPON AN INITIAL INVESTMENT OF $255,000 TO A CHURCH-BASED HEALTH MINISTRY THAT WOULD PROVIDE SCREENINGS AND HEALTH CARE OUTREACH SUCH AS DISEASE MANAGEMENT AND HEALTHY EATING EDUCATION TO LOCAL RESIDENTS AND SCHOOLS.
