12 Well Being Trust | Annual Report | Community Transformation All health is local. To advance the mental, social and spiritual health of the nation, we start with a recognition that clinical transformation and access to care are vital but are only a small part of the equation. To truly advance well-being, we must begin by recognizing the unique gifts, assets, contributions and needs of an individual community. For the health care sector, bridging this gap requires new eyes and an intentional shift to see health as moving beyond the walls of the clinic to starting within our homes, schools, workplaces and neighborhoods. Essential to this: placing a central focus on vulnerable people, families and communities to achieve health equity. Beyond seeing opportunities and needs, we engage communities in advancing the changes that foster well-being. We are dedicated to supporting people and communities in direct action and to helping drive change that builds a culture of well- being and creates the capacity for personal well-being, ultimately shifting community expectations and building public will for action. Well Being Trust's team brings decades of community experience and partner relationships across a wide spectrum of issue areas, sectors, geographies, generations and perspectives. We are tapping into this experience and the expertise and wisdom of our partners to galvanize the will to strategize, activate and sustain a dynamic movement for well-being in the nation. COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION SPIRITUALITY AND HEALTH FUNDERS COLLABORATION Well Being Trust partnered with the Templeton, Fetzer, George, Nathan Cummings and other national foundations to bring diverse funders together at the intersection of faith and health, to learn from each other and build a partnership strategy for co-investing and field building at the intersection of faith and well-being. COORDINATING CLINICAL SERVICES WITH A HOMELESS PROGRAM Well Being Trust is helping expand implementation of the Napa County Whole Person Care initiative, which focuses on coordination of health, behavioral health and social services in a patient-centered manner for improved health and well-being through more efficient and effective use of resources.
