Commitment to Our Mission: A Message from HealthPoint’s Chief Executive Officer

Share

At HealthPoint, our mission has always been clear: to strengthen communities and improve people's health by delivering quality health care services, breaking down barriers, and providing access to all. 


What We Stand For

For 54 years, we have stood as a pillar of health and wellness in our community, ensuring that no one is turned away due to financial hardship, immigration status, gender identity, or any other barrier. Today, that commitment remains as strong as ever.
In the face of shifting federal healthcare policies that seek to limit access to essential services, HealthPoint remains steadfast in our mission. We believe that health care is not a privilege – it is a human right. Policies that create obstacles to care, whether by restricting access for immigrants and refugees, reducing protections for gender-diverse individuals, or making it harder for low-income families to receive necessary treatment, run counter to our core values. 


Why We’re Here

While these policy changes may create uncertainty and fear for many in our community, we want you to know that HealthPoint is here for you. We will advocate, we will innovate, and we will work to make sure that every person who walks through our doors receives the highest quality of care, free from discrimination or judgment.
Communities thrive when everyone has access to quality health care. Every day, we witness the profound impact of compassionate, inclusive, and culturally responsive care—our care teams see firsthand how it transforms lives. Good health opens doors to new opportunities, including academic achievement, stable employment, financial security, and overall well-being. 


Our Message to You

To our patients, know this: You are welcome at HealthPoint. You are respected at HealthPoint. You will be cared for at HealthPoint. 

To our donors, partners, and friends: your support enables us to continue to serve our patients. Your generosity and advocacy help ensure that health care remains accessible to all.

Together, we will continue to build a healthier, more just future for everyone.


In partnership, 
Lisa Yohalem, Chief Executive Officer, HealthPoint
