ProMedica Foundation (“ProMedica”), the philanthropic arm of the ProMedica healthcare system, has partnered with the Green & Healthy Homes Initiative (“GHHI”) and the Philadelphia Energy Authority (“PEA”) on 1,000 Healthy Homes, a program that leverages the work of these three organizations to preserve affordable homes and improve health outcomes. 1,000 Healthy Homes is based on the GHHI Intervention Model, which is a unique, comprehensive process encompassing outreach, centralized intake, resident education, home assessment, health-related housing interventions and resident follow-ups. The partners anticipate completing housing interventions in at least 1,000 Philadelphia homes over three years impacting approximately 4,000 residents. By demonstrating outcomes, ProMedica hopes to bolster the case for increased healthcare investment to address the social determinants of health that result in numerous inequities in Philadelphia and across the country.
