Vision
- To optimize the delivery of health care services for the residents of Trenton in an environment that improves quality, enhances the patient experience and decreases costs.
- To advance the outcomes related to health equity for the population of Trenton - through research, innovation, engagement and the procurement of addition of resources.
According to the World Health Organization, health inequities are “avoidable inequalities in health between groups of people.” Recognizing the many factors that cause health inequity, the Capital Health Institute for Urban Care works to improve medical care while overcoming the complex social determinants of health in order to positively affect outcomes.
To accomplish this, the Institute works with a robust network of community partners that serve the City of Trenton. By combining strengths, Capital Health and its partners are able to engage our neighbors, effectively use data, and develop innovative, scalable, and reproducible programs that go beyond the scope of traditional care and allow us to improve the health and well-being of Trenton residents.
