Core Foundation Initiatives

The Humankindness Gala supports the national initiatives of CommonSpirit Health Foundation; each of which support the overarching goal of helping communities achieve health justice by addressing the root causes of inequities and eliminating structural and systemic barriers to health.

The foundation looks upstream at social determinants of health that have a great influence on good health and make it difficult for our patients to be healthy. We are addressing the complex issues taking place outside the walls of our hospitals that are the root cause of health.
