About us
Philadelphia Health Partnership is a private, independent foundation. Our mission is to advocate for and resource equitable, quality care and services that improve the health and well-being of people in Philadelphia. We envision a Philadelphia in which everyone, particularly those who have faced barriers to opportunity, achieves optimal health and well-being. The foundation is now celebrating its 25th year in operation. It was created in 1997 as part of the merger between Pennsylvania Hospital and the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania. Originally known as “First Hospital Foundation,” we became “Philadelphia Health Partnership: Foundation for Healthy Communities” in 2018. Our name stands for our commitment to Philadelphia County, our focus on health, and our philosophy toward collaboration and engagement.

During BIPOC mental health month, we shine a light on our grantee partner Oshun Family Center. Oshun provides racially concordant care for Black birthing families including trauma-informed therapy and support services for every stage of the birthing journey. What does that mean? Racially concordant care is when you are treated by a care provider who shares the same racial identity as you. There are a number of reasons why an individual might want to have a provider who shares the same racial identity, such as: • comfort/familiarity • feeling seen because they can see themselves in their provider • feeling understood Further, it has been shown that when the care provider shares the same racial identity, patients are more likely to: • be satisfied with their experience • adhere to medical advice • experience improved clinical outcomes. Visit https://lnkd.in/esfqAnT6 today to learn more about Oshun's mental health psychotherapy and other racially concordant services available. #bipocmentalhealth #bipocmentalhealthmonth #healthequity #healthequitynow #phillyhealth

Did you know you can get Medicaid coverage for kids' mental health? Mental and emotional well-being is a critical part of physical health. The mind-body connection affects mood, confidence, social interactions, and motivation. Positive mental health helps to promote the development of critical competencies, resilience, and life skills. Experiencing a range of emotions throughout childhood is healthy. However, if your child consistently feels sad, worried, or isolated, they may benefit from extra help. PHP grantee partner Children First (formerly PCCY) First provides a helpful step-by-step guide for navigating Medicaid coverage for kids’ mental health. Learn more and access the guide (available in 5 languages) on their website: https://lnkd.in/eTX85xk7 Check back throughout July as we continue to share partner spotlights for BIPOC mental health month! #phillyhealth #healthequity #phillynonprofit #nonprofitsupport #communityhealth #philadelphia

On Saturday, Philadelphia Health Partnership was thrilled to join our grantee partner, the Philly Joy Bank, to celebrate their official launch with birth justice champions from across the City. A project developed by the Philadelphia Maternal and Infant Health Community Action Network (PhillyCAN), the Philly Joy Bank is a guaranteed income pilot focused on addressing racial disparities in infant mortality and promoting healthy births, perinatal well-being, and optimal childhood development. The program will recruit 250 pregnant people who live in one of three neighborhoods with the highest rates of very low birth weight births in Philadelphia: Strawberry Mansion, Nicetown-Tioga, and Cobbs Creek. Participants will receive $1,000 of monthly guaranteed income and voluntary support services during pregnancy and for 12 months postpartum. The Philly Joy Bank aims to improve participants’ financial stability, reduce their stress during after and pregnancy, and increase birthing people's autonomy and agency to address family priorities and needs.

As part of this celebration, we honor four inspiring PHP grantee partners dedicated to enriching and enhancing the lives of communities of color: New Voices for Reproductive Justice builds power for and alongside Black women, Black queer folks, and Black marginalized people through leadership development, community care, resourcing, and mutual aid. Oshun Family Center provides racially concordant care to Black birthing families and members of the Black community through trauma-informed therapy and maternal health support services for every stage of the birthing journey. The Village of Arts and Humanities supports Black community residents and artists to imagine, design, and build a more just and equitable society. we.REIGN (Rooting, Empowering, Inspiring a Girls Nation) develops future leaders through community- and school-based programming for middle- and high-school aged Black girls.
