Mission-driven initiatives deliver critical care coverage, social needs screenings and long-term community investments in FY2025
Trinity Health today announced that it delivered $2.9 billion in programs and services during fiscal year 2025, reaffirming its commitment to patients and communities despite significant pressures facing the health care industry. Investments made across Trinity Health’s 25-state footprint include covering $310 million in care costs helping nearly 450,000 patients receive necessary routine and emergency care; completing more than 1 million screenings to identify patients’ food, housing and other social needs affecting their health; and generating $1.18 billion in investments in affordable housing, food access, education and employment since 2018.
“Every dollar we generate above expenses is reinvested into providing accessible, high-quality care and programs that lift up whole communities. This year’s $2.9 billion in community impact is our Community Return on Health in action – funding financial assistance, housing, food, transportation, education and jobs to ensure care is within reach for everyone,” said Michael A. Slubowski, president and chief executive officer, Trinity Health. “At Trinity Health, our Mission calls us to be a compassionate and transforming healing presence, especially for the most vulnerable. To live that Mission, we must sustain a margin – not for shareholders, but to generate what we call a care dividend.”
Trinity Health’s comprehensive $2.9 billion investment includes the organization’s reported $1.4 billion in Community Benefit as defined and calculated by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Empowering people experiencing poverty and other vulnerabilities
Trinity Health’s financial assistance program supports patients with incomes up to 200 percent (full assistance) and 400 percent (partial assistance) of the Federal Poverty Level for both routine and emergency care. In FY2025, Trinity Health covered $310 million in care costs helping nearly 450,000 people receive the routine and emergency services they needed.
Trinity Health is also embedding health-related social needs screening and Community Health Workers (CHWs) into care across its national footprint:
- More than 1 million outpatients and 137,000 inpatients screened for health-related social needs
- 27.4 percent of outpatients reported at least one unmet need – most often food access, financial insecurity and social isolation.
- 162 CHWs addressed more than 16,300 social needs connecting patients to resources for housing, food, transportation and other supports. A single social need can often take months or even a year to resolve.
“Improving health outcomes requires us to see and respond to the full context of our patients’ lives,” said Daniel J. Roth, MD, executive vice president and chief operating officer, Trinity Health. “By integrating social care into our clinical workflows, we are helping people avoid preventable hospitalizations, manage chronic conditions, and experience care that is dignified, culturally responsive and truly person-centered.”
