Making a Difference in the Communities We Serve
Our Mission
Inspiring Communities by Connecting People to Real Solutions
CTF promotes collective work and responsibility within the communities we serve. Our staff consist of some of the most respected professionals in the area who possess the knowledge and experience to build coalitions that will greatly benefit the community and those who live within. CTF’s mission is to be an organization that is dedicated to building collaborations within communities to develop sustainable programs that address the social determinants of health and promote health equity.
Our Vision
People, Community, Equality
Our vision is deeply rooted in the belief that all people deserve a healthy, productive, and prosperous existence, and that in order for a community to reach its full potential, it must provide the necessary tools for its people so that they can prosper, assume healthy lifestyles, and enjoy a sense of self-appreciation and social equity. The Community Transformers Foundation is committed to the communities it served and it is our mission to ensure that people have the resources they need to succeed.
Our Values
Build up Underserved Communities by Promoting Health and Social Equity
A healthy community is crucial to achieving successful outcomes, whether social or economic. The Community Transformers Foundation addresses health gaps in communities where access to quality healthcare is limited, and connects communities with a network of healthcare professionals who can provide screenings, counseling, and education so that people will have the information they need to make the best decisions regarding their health and wellness needs
Our Strategy
Leveraging Knowledge, Skill and Innovation
CTF’s strategy is to partner with community leaders, community-based organizations and residents to develop sustainable programs that will ameliorate issues around health inequity and social determinates of health. CTFs board of directors were chosen specifically for their knowledge, relationships to leaders (either as one or connection to) and their passion for empowering communities. CTF builds collaborations with the communities they serve to design and implement programs to promote healthy outcomes.
