Since 1997, The Health Foundation of Greater Cincinnati has invested over $111 million in projects that improve the health of the Cincinnati area. With major healthcare reform imminent, the Health Foundation aims to be a source for credible, timely information that can inform people in our region about the healthcare reform debate. While we do not support any specific plan or approach, we do support certain principles that we believe would improve access to healthcare and make our region healthier.
The Health Foundation supports a healthcare system that:
- IS FOR ALL and
- Is a coordinated system that preserves choice
- Provides access to affordable insurance coverage
- Provides access to appropriate healthcare services
- Encourages and rewards quality care, and
- Has broad financing and cost controls
