What does OneWorld mean to you?

What’s Inside

In a world filled with opportunities and wealth, inequality is growing. More and more people are sliding into poverty and are not able to adequately feed themselves, afford housing or health care and more people are turning to hate and violence. OneWorld was created by visionary leaders more than 50 years and has stood for equity for all people. To provide health care without considering a patient’s living, hunger or income situation, the very conditions that often determine whether a patient will have a good outcome is integral to our mission. When individuals and families experience too much stress, sadness or insecurity, health can be out of reach and hostility, anger and violence can result. Providing the best health care possible to the most people possible has driven OneWorld, our staff and board to be one of the most remarkable organizations in the community. From our grassroots and humble beginnings inside a church pantry to 17 clinical locations and five locations dedicated to prevention, outreach, literacy and our infrastructure. Ensuring that all people no matter their income, abilities, racial, ethnic, religion, gender identity or immigration status have access to quality health care and additional support is our mission, furthers our values and vision –and is our guiding light. Today we are caring for more people than ever in our history, and we are so proud, yet we know how much further we have to go until it is as easy as possible for everyone to feel welcome, connected, supported and have access to quality health care. Two things are clear. Our model works and we are grateful for your help to keep our mission moving forward.
