Introduction 20 2021 Sustainability Report A Modern, High-Performing Health System Our People and Culture Environmental Health Responsible Business Practices Performance Data Our health equity focus areas Health equity is ingrained in our business operations, from our organizational strategy to our population health insights. Our core areas of focus are reflective of the specific areas where we can make significant headway to address long-standing disparities. Health Equity Data and Analytics We are leveraging data to drive population-level insights both within our company and across the health system. We are using those insights to set goals and inform our business strategy. For more than 30 years, we have used findings from America’s Health Rankings reports, along with additional data and insights from our 350,000 employees, to devise and deliver targeted, meaningful solutions that address America’s health disparities — in health care, insurance, clinical expertise and financial support. We are also working with partners across the health care system to improve data transparency and address social determinants of health. Our diversity, equity and inclusion strategy is informed by the workforce and leadership data across the organization. Organizational Strategy Our commitment to advancing health equity is embedded in our mission and supported by senior leaders across the organization, including the Board of Directors. Our chief sustainability officer oversees our health equity agenda, which is informed by data and supported by enterprisewide collaboration and our strategic focus on comprehensive, value-based care delivery, pharmacy services, health benefits, health technology and health financial services. Community Partnerships We seek to improve the health of underserved communities by collaborating with community partners and organizations that understand distinct, local population health needs. We are working to assemble partners through grant partnerships overseen by the United Health Foundation, and we are convening like- minded organizations to contribute expertise, knowledge, data and insights that can reduce health care disparities. Programmatic Response Our large-scale philanthropic efforts combined with long- standing programs to improve health outcomes seek to address some of the most pervasive health disparities. Our work is focused specifically on access to care, health workforce diversity, social determinants of health and maternal health. The United Health Foundation is making significant, targeted investments of $100 million that will measurably advance health equity by 2033.
