Bon Secours Mercy Health (BSMH) announced the release of its 2025 Community Health Annual Report, showcasing meaningful progress in addressing the health and social needs of communities across the system’s markets.
Guided by insights from the Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNA) created in the communities we serve, Community Health Implementation Plans (CHIP) and Community Health Strategic Plans, BSMH’s Community Health initiatives focus on the social determinants of health that most influence overall well-being.
By combining data-driven assessments with input from community members and local stakeholders, BSMH prioritizes resources toward outreach, prevention, education and well-being programs designed to deliver the greatest impact where it is needed most.
“This report goes beyond data to reflect the commitment of our Community Health teams to advancing health and well-being through mission-driven action,” said Gina Hemenway, interim vice president of Community Health. “Each success represents meaningful progress in addressing the factors that shape health — such as food and nutrition security, access to care, affordable housing and social connection — so we can build healthier, more resilient communities.”
Collaboration remains central to this work. Through strong partnerships with local health care providers, nonprofit organizations and state and local agencies, Bon Secours Mercy Health extends its reach and amplifies results. During the most recent reporting year, BSMH collaborated with more than 1,000 community partners to deliver community-based programs supporting individuals and families.
