Community Health & Well-Being

In the United States, health care spend is almost entirely focused on clinical care, not preventative or public health. However, clinical care and genetics account for only 30 percent of the factors that impact the health of populations. 

Trinity Health Of New England addresses the physical, spiritual and behavioral health needs of people who lack transportation, housing, food security, safety and education or who face language or socio-economic barriers throughout Connecticut and Western Massachusetts. These barriers, the Social Determinants of Health, often impact health, functioning and quality-of-life outcomes.

Our Community Health & Well-Being team works closely with Trinity Health Of New England colleagues and the community to identify and address these barriers with innovative processes that align with Trinity Health Of New England's mission. Through programming, referrals and service coordination, our team strives to build individual and community self-sufficiency and well-being.
