Overview

Mission

The Foundation for Healthy Communities encourages, supports and promotes healthy communities and lifestyles through partnership with Ohio hospitals and health systems.

What it reported doing in 2014

The foundation for healthy communities of the Ohio hospital association encourages, supports and promotes healthy communities and lifestyles through partnership with Ohio hospitals and health systems. In 2014, the foundation for healthy communities provided resources and networking opportunities to hospitals through the use of a social networking website, monthly webinar series, newsletters and the execution of the second annual statewide hospital wellness promotion conference. In addition the foundation lauched a comprehensive infant mortality initiative with a 2014 emphasis on safe sleep. This is an ongoing hospital based program supported by web-based tools, webinars and state-wide meetings. The initiative involved the distribution of 25,000 safe sleep kits at cost. The foundation's vision is to help hospitals lead ohioans to better health.

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 63% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
