OneWorld is growing and adapting to better serve our community, and we look forward to another year of opportunities. Thank you for your support as we continue to provide compassionate care both inside our clinics and outside our doors with a focus on vulnerable populations that need our services now more than ever.
We know that the journey to health is not always straightforward. Each patient faces a unique set of challenges, and we strive to treat everyone with dignity and compassion—from the inside out. When community members come inside our clinics, we care for the whole person. We help our patients access crucial services, including medical and dental care, and we offer behavioral/mental health care, substance abuse services, affordable medications and supportive services. We reduce health inequities by going beyond basic health care and by providing resources like warm clothes, food and legal assistance. We actively partner with the greater community to address significant barriers for our patients by advocating for underserved populations. Our work to meet our patients’ needs both inside and outside our doors has a collective impact on the overall health and economic vitality of each individual and the community. In 2018, our clinics provided 46,292 unique underserved patients with quality, affordable health care services—nearly an 11% increase from the number of patients we cared for in 2017. We strive to provide top-quality, compassionate care for each and every person, and in 2018, the community responded by recognizing us for our work. I am proud to share that OneWorld received a number of significant awards in 2018, including the following:
