Words from Our CEO
OneWorld continues to be a leader, advocate and trusted resource, for health care and more. We are thankful for your support.
As we reflect on the history of OneWorld, it is amazing to see the transformation that has occurred over the past 50 years. From the beginning, our mission has always been to make quality health care accessible to the underserved. I think we can safely say we have done that, as in 2019 we reached a milestone with our clinics providing affordable quality care to 50,182 unique underserved patients. With each patient we strive to provide top-quality, compassionate care that addresses the needs of the whole person. We are very grateful for your support and that of all of our community partners who help us reach more of our neighbors in need every year. Expanding access to care with dignity and respect for all people is a core value for OneWorld. I am proud to share that OneWorld had considerable expansion in 2019 including: • Opening a new Teen and Young Adult Health Center in West Omaha. • Launching a second mobile dental clinic, called the Fluo-ride. • Adding space for the Learning Community Center of South Omaha and minority health outreach programs.
• Acquiring ownership of the Livestock Building and Campus and refreshing some exam areas. • Ranking in the top 2% for quality care among the nation’s 1,400 federally qualified health centers. The care of our patients and access to this care is only possible because of our stellar employees. Last year with philanthropic investment, we were able to provide professional leadership development for our leaders. Many of our leaders are “home grown” and their development is critical to our future. We continue to invest in our employees as our greatest asset within the limits of our resources. We were honored to be given an award as “Ally of the Year” by the Metro Young Latino Professionals Association based on our support and employment of young Latinos in 2019. This organization represents current and future leaders and we were very honored by being selected for this award. We were also named a leader by the Campaign for Health Equity for our care and support of the LGBTQIA+ community. With increasing attention to the social determinants impacting health, we grew
