OUR ABILITY TO ADDRESS ALL OF THE IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS IS LINKED TO OUR MISSION TO PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE POOR AND VULNERABLE AND BY THE STRENGTH OF OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WHO CAN SUPPLEMENT OR COMPLEMENT OUR ANNUALLY BUDGETED RESOURCES. FOR EXAMPLE, PROVIDENCE HAS PROVIDED A TATTOO REMOVAL PROGRAM FOR MANY YEARS FOR EX-GANG MEMBERS AND OFFENDERS WHO HAVE COMMITTED TO TURNING THEIR LIFE AROUND. YET, WE HAVE LEARNED THAT REMOVING THE TATTOO IS JUST PART OF THE SOLUTION TO SUPPORTING THE INDIVIDUAL WHO FACES MANY BARRIERS AND STRESSORS. SO, WE ARE COMMITTED TO PARTNERING WITH ORGANIZATIONS THAT CAN PROVIDE THE WRAP AROUND MENTAL HEALTH, JOB TRAINING AND OTHER SERVICES THAT IMPROVE THE CHANCES OF A SUCCESSFUL RE-ENTRY BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN BELOW PRESUMES THAT ADDITIONAL ORGANIZATIONAL PARTNER RELATIONSHIPS WILL ALLOW US TO ADDRESS ALL EIGHT IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS. THESE ORGANIZATIONS ARE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE COMMUNITY PARTNERS THAT HAVE EXPERTISE IN ADDRESSING THE IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.
