The Health Improvement Collaborative of Greater Cincinnati is the proud recipient of the American Hospital Associations Living the Vision Award, presented July 1, 2002. This honor served as a milestone in the Collaborative history, as it marked the organizations first decade of accomplishments.

Established in 1992, the Collaborative is a unique coalition of diverse health care stakeholders representing the hospital, physician, employer, insurer, government, education, and consumer sectors. A nonprofit subsidiary of the Greater Cincinnati Health Council, the Collaborative was formed to identify inpatient and community health status measurement systems. That focus has since expanded to include community-wide health improvement initiatives.

The Collaborative coordinates the following programs/projects and activities:

• Community Health Status Tracking – via conducting periodic health consumer surveys, and compiling secondary health status data. This data is used to identify community health improvement opportunities.
• Hospital Comparative Study – charting inpatient and outpatient health outcomes using a system for documenting charges, length of stay, and mortality in Tristate hospitals/health systems.
• Health Improvement Initiatives including Prevention of Low Birth Weight and the Greater Cincinnati Diabetes Program. Past initiatives that are monitored by the Collaborative and have been returned to the community include Early Detection and Treatment of Depression and the Adult Influenza Immunization Project.
• Ohio on the Move As part of the Collaboratives healthy living/weight initiative, the organization has been named the Ohio affiliate of America on the Move, a national social change movement that encourages people to move more and eat less.
• Cincinnati MD resource center working with employers to recruit physicians to Cincinnati. The Resource Center also coordinates the African American Recruitment Project, which works to increase recruitment of African American physicians and nurses to Cincinnati.
• HealthBridge A nonprofit subsidiary of the Collaborative, HealthBridge is the nations largest regional health information organization. Through a shared networking infrastructure, HealthBridge improves the quality and efficiency of the community’s health care by providing authorized users secure access to 28 different clinical applications, and delivering more than 940,000 clinical results per month to 2,900 physicians.
• Other Community Resources Coordinated by the Collaborative currently housing three regional programs in Collaborative facilities: the Hospital Bio-terrorism Preparedness Program (funded by HRSA); the Regional Medical Response System (funded by CDC); and the Cincinnati Facial Foundation (funding reconstructive facial surgery for accident or crime victims who are medically underserved).

In carrying out these activities, the Collaborative has focused on improving the health of two million citizens within the Greater Cincinnati region.

Better Lives for youth and families
Since 1969, Lighthouse Youth Services has been a beacon of hope for abused and neglected children and for families in crisis. Lighthouse provides residential care each day for more than 250 children in our foster homes, group homes, residential treatment centers, supervised apartments, and other residential programs. Children of all ages come to us...from infants to older youth.

Lighthouse is a national leader in our work with children. Staff members author nationally published books and articles, frequently present at national conferences and consult with states and agencies nationwide.

Since its inception, Lighthouse has been characterized by innovation, a willingness to meet needs as they arise and a commitment to a continuum of care. These threads run through our work with abused and neglected, delinquent, homeless or runaway youth and their families.



"Lighthouse is certified by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Abuse services, licensed by the Ohio Department of Human Services, accreditation for Services to Children and Families, and receives funding, in part, from the United Way and the City of Cincinnati."
