Delivery system transformation aimed at achieving better health outcomes requires care models that integrate a broad array of services to address physical, behavioral, and social needs. Our department recognizes that Race and the Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) – conditions in which people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age – play a significant role in well-being. The Strategic Plan 2023-2025 process represents a shift from provision of benefit services to a deeper understanding of the health of our population.
SFHSS will lead with equity to support our membership in accessing the care they need when they need it, regardless of personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, geographic location, and socioeconomic status. As we advance this 2023-2025 Strategic Plan, SFHSS is aligning with leading health authorities to ensure that equity is engrained within the fabric of our mission, vision, values, and strategic goals.
