Advocacy, Community Partnerships and Giving Back
Over the years, Prime Healthcare and the Prime Healthcare Foundation have
furthered their mission of saving hospitals to save lives and serve communities
through advocacy, community partnerships and charitable contributions
at the local, state, and national level.
Since 2010, Prime Healthcare has provided more than $9 billion in charitable
contributions to organizations locally, nationally and globally. Most
recently, throughout the pandemic, Prime rose to the challenge of caring
for the hardest hit communities, providing hundreds of thousands of COVID
tests and vaccines to residents across the country, many in underserved areas.
Over the years, Prime Healthcare leadership have supported legislation
that benefits patients, healthcare workers and providers, including preservation
and expansion of the Affordable Care Act; Medicaid expansion at the state
level; improving healthcare outcomes; promoting health equity and access
to quality, affordable healthcare for our most disadvantaged communities,
both rural and urban; and much more.
