What you can expect! The IEHP Foundation (IEHPF), established by the Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP), aims to address what clinical care alone cannot: the conditions that shape long-term health. The independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization collaborates with community-based organizations (CBOs) and invests in initiatives that improve community well-being and create access for families who need it most. Mission: We inspire and ignite the health of the Inland Empire. Vision: We will not rest until the promise of Vibrant Health exists for all of us. Values: We foster a sense of belonging. We approach our work with humility. We are fearless! As part of the investment into local leaders and CBOs, IEHP Foundation implements a two-year leadership development program for select mission-aligned CBOs addressing social drivers of health called the Champions for Vibrant Health Leadership Network (CFVHLN). Each selected organization nominates an executive leader and an emerging leader to participate in six in-person convenings a year to bolster their skills in business management, communication, strategic thinking, change leadership, team building, succession planning, and public policy and advocacy. Additionally, IEHP Foundation with a multitude of other partners will be embarking on a multi-year, multi-sectoral effort to improve health conditions across the region.
