Community CommitmentBIANNUAL REPORT: JULY–DECEMBER, 2017

We’re with you.At Aurora Health Care, our purpose of helping each other live well guides our work each and every day. Whether through caring for our patients, sponsoring community health and wellness initiatives, or convening community conversations, we’re with you.

The Aurora Better Together Fund is one way that we are fulfilling our purpose. The Fund is a powerful example of how community collaboration can make

addresses some of the greatest health care disparities in our communities by expanding access to primary and behavioral health care, as well as violence prevention and treatment through community partnership.

For example, the Kenosha Community Health Center recognized a growing need for primary and mental health services in its neighboring community and developed an innovative mobile unit model, funded with an Aurora Better Together Fund grant. The mobile unit will address the health care needs of the Racine community for years to come.

We look forward to celebrating the opening of Sixteenth Street Community Center’s Layton Clinic in early 2018. Supported by an Aurora Better Together Fund grant and facility donation, the Layton Clinic will provide primary and behavioral health care to residents of Milwaukee’s south side.

In 2018, our impact will continue to extend well beyond our walls into the communities we serve. From our sponsorship support to our continued collaboration with our 53 Better Together Fund partners, and our

Caring, we are excited about our plans to positively impact our communities. Thank you for your continued support and involvement in this important work. May we continue to help each other live well!
