Richmond Community Hospital Commitment

In 2023, Bon Secours launched Community Today, Community Tomorrow: Pathway to Wellness in the East End as a three-year, community-informed plan rooted in listening, partnership, and shared accountability. Guided by the voices of East End residents and community partners, this work focused on four key areas: expanding access to care, strengthening wellness and prevention, deepening local partnerships, and creating pathways to opportunity.

As this three-year plan concludes, we are proud of what was accomplished, not because the work is finished, but because we did what we set out to do. We listened. We showed up. We followed through. We held ourselves accountable to the commitments we made to this community, and together we made meaningful progress toward improving overall health and wellbeing in the East End through expanded services, education, and investment.

We are deeply grateful to the residents, partners, organizations, and neighbors who trusted us, believed in this work, and walked alongside us over the past three years. This progress was only possible because of shared effort, honest collaboration, and a collective belief in what is possible when solutions are shaped by the community, for the community.

While the formal timeline of this plan has come to a close, our commitment to the East End remains. Bon Secours recognizes its role as an anchor institution in this community and takes that responsibility seriously. We look forward to continuing our work in the East End, listening to the community, building strong partnerships, and taking meaningful action to improve the overall health and wellbeing of this community.
